Diodontus luteopictus sp. nov. 
Of the described oriental species this species seems to be 
more closely allied to Psen pulcherrimus Bingham, but the color, 
sculpture, and venation are decidedly different from that species. 
Female. — Length, 9.5 millimeters. Clypeus very slightly con- 
vex, shining, sparsely punctured, the apical margin rounded; 
face more closely punctured than the clypeus ; a strong median 
carina, between the bases of the antennas, ends well above the 
middle of the face, as a short transverse carina, and extends 
dorsally to the anterior ocellus; frons, vertex, and posterior 
orbits smooth and shining ; intraocellar area raised ; ocelli in an 
equilateral triangle, the anterior ocellus the largest; postocellar 
line subequal to the ocellocular line ; scape short, straight ; flagel- 
lum subclavate, first joint one-fourth longer than second, the 
second and third subequal ; pronotum carinate anteriorly, 
rounded laterally ; scutum with sparse, poorly defined punctures ; 
parapsidal furrows weak, indicated on the anterior fourth; 
seutellum, metanotum, mesosternum, mesopleura, metapleura, 
and sides of propodeum anteriorly smooth, shining, impunctate;

mandibles except apices, palpi, scape, pedicellum, flagellum
