This species is very closely allied to C. sugillatus, but is much larger and 
broader, and has the surface of the elytra more rugose, and the epipleuree in their 
posterior portion broader and flatter. The sexual characters are quite the same, 
the male tarsi being proportionately as small as in C. sugillatus.

Long. 24, lat. 12 m.m. 
This species of which I have seen only a single individual is extremely closely 
allied to C. sugillatus, but is more elongate, and has the male front tarsi larger, the 
breadth of their third joint being about 2 m.m., while in C. sugillatus it is only 
about 14 m.m.

1126. Cybister convexus, n. sp.—Ovalis, sat latus, anterius parum angustatus, 
convexus, supra olivaceo-niger, marginibus magis viridibus, subtus niger, antennis 
rufis extrorsum fuscescentibus. Long. 29, lat. 16 m.m. 
This species is much larger than Cybister sugillatus, and of a different form, 
being less narrowed in front, and so more regularly elliptical ; the front and middle 
legs seem to be more nearly black in colour. The male front tarsi are slightly 
more developed than in C. sugillatus, and have the pubescent area at the base of 
the undersurface distinctly larger; the intermediate tarsi are wanting in 
the only individual I have seen. It also a good deal resembles the African C. 
binotatus (No. 1133), and is about the same size as the largest individuals thereof, 
but is much more convex in form, and the male anterior tarsi are much smaller ; it is 
probable that the species will prove intermediate between the Asiatic Cybister 
sugillatus with its allies, and the African C. binotatus.

1127. Cybister posticus, Aube, Trogus posticus, M. C_—Ovalis, latus, anterius 
conspicue angustatus, supra parum convexus, nigro-olivaceus, pedibus anterioribus 
et intermediis nigricantibus rufo-variis ; antennis rufis. Long. 30, lat. 16 m.m. 
I have seen of this species only a single individual; it is the male from Dejean’s 
collection which served Aubé for his description. It is closely allied to C. 
sugillatus but is much larger and broader, the male front tarsi are larger, the 
pubescent area at their base beneath being moderately large ; the line of sexual
