Gyponyx pertenuis sp. nov. 
Elongate, black, shining, sparsely clothed with long yel- 
lowish white pile; antennae rufo-piceous, five terminal seg- 
ments darker; labial palpi fulvous; maxillary palpi piceous; 
elytra black, scutellar area rufous, a median and a subapi- 
cal fascia white; abdomen black, posterior margin of fifth 
sternite pale flavous; middle of ultimate sternite rufous. 
Head longitudinally rugose; front irregularly coarsely 
punctate; occiput more closely punctate; labrum provided 
with a tuft of long yellow hairs at each side. Prothorax 
slightly longer than wide ; sides feebly rounded, rugose and 
rather densely punctate; base much narrower than apex; 
subapical transverse impressed line sinuous, distinct; disk 
with a transverse sulcus before the middle and a longi- 
tudinal depression extending from subapical line to behind 
the middle, this depressed area rugulose and rather coarse- 
ly, deeply punctate, elsewhere very finely and distantly 
punctate. Elytra wider at base than prothorax in any 
part; humeri obtusely rounded; sides parallel; apices con- 
jointly rounded; basal half coarsely deeply seriately punc- 
tate, with numerous irregularly distributed smooth ele- 
vated small transverse pale yellow spots; apical half to 
subapical fascia finely, remotely, shallowly but seriately 
punctate; apex finely, confusedly punctate; postscutellar 
area depressed; second interspace expanded and bearing 
a rather elongate but not prominent tubercle at base; su- 
tural margin in apical half broadly sulcate, the sulcus 
limited externally by a fine carina ; median fascia moderate- 
ly wide, anteriorly convex, narrowest at sides, its margins 
somewhat irregular; subapical fascia transverse, slightly 
wider at flanks than at suture; both fasciae free from lat- 
eral and sutural bead. Pro- and mesosternum black,
