“ Head moderately strongly punctured ; clypeus and labrum 
fulvous; antennae black, base fulvous. Thorax about twice as 
broad as long at base, strongly angulated at sides near the base, 
surface very strongly and densely punctured except near anterior 
margin. Elytra oblong-ovate, distinctly depressed below the base, 
the anterior portion moderately strongly, posterior more finely 
punctate-striate. Eernora with a small tooth ; flanks of thorax 
strongly punctured.

“ Hob. Sikliim : Kurseong.” ( Duvivier .) 
It is very probable that this species is only a variety of 
N. puncticolle, Lefev., from which, according to the description, 
it does not seem to differ structurally. 
598. Nodostoma fese, Jac. Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova , xxxii, 1892, p. 897. 
Piceous ; head fulvous ; antennse partly and the legs flavous. 
Head very remotely and rather strongly punctured ; clypeus 
not separated from the face, punctured like the head ; antennae 
with the apical joints darker, slightly thickened. Thorax half as 
broad again as long, distinctly angulated at the middle, very deeply 
and coarsely but not very closely punctured. Elytra wider at base 
than the thorax, basal portion strongly raised, bounded by a deep 
depression, the latter deeply punctured, rest of surface iinpunctate 
with the exception of a single row of punctures near the suture. 
Yar. a. Apex of elytra flavous, other parts piceous. 
Var. b. Eulvous, elytra paler. 
Length 3 mm.

The strongly punctured thorax and impunctate posterior portion 
of the elytra separate this species from others that are similar in 
coloration. 
Var. a must not be confounded with N. flavolimbatum , Jac., 
which is similar in coloration, as that species has an impunctate 
head and the sides of the thorax augulaced near the base, not at 
the middle. 
Elytra dark, apex pale.

p. 90. 
Elavous ; apical joints of antennse black ; elytra black, the apex 
flavous. 
Head finely and sparingly punctured, with a short but deep 
depression in front of eves, indicating the limit of the clypeus at 
the sides, anterior margin of latter nearly straight ; antennae 
black, basal four joints flavous, third and fourth equal, terminal 
joint slender. Thorax more than twice as broad as long, very 
short, sides subangulate near base, anterior sulcus entire, surface
