[Vol. Ill, of prothorax smooth and hairless in front, punctured and very hairy further back, often rugose behind the coxae. Scutellum traversed by a pair of broad and closely apposed hairy and finely punctured bands which are sometimes fused in the middle line ; mesothoracic episterna coarsely punctured above and in front, more finely in the posterior angles which are hairy; a small smooth area between the two punc- tured ones. Mesosternum often more or less dull and rugose, usually with a patch of hair-bearing punctures in the lateral angles; scars indistinct or absent. Metaster- num with lateral areas very broad behind, but not in contact with central area ; lateral and anterior intermediate areas hairy and rather finely punctured, posterior intermediate and central areas smooth and hairless. Posterior parts of hind coxae slightly roughened ; scars of abdominal sterna smooth or very nearly so. Elytra -with lateral grooves broader than dorsal ones, the punctures in the former forming rows of short transverse grooves. Trapezochilus respectabilis (Kuwert) '. Text-fig. 5 E, p. 247. Described from a series of specimens from Deli, vSumatra, in the collection of the Deutsches Entomologisches Text-fig. 6. Giiaphalncveiiiis sijjiph'x. n. sp., head x 4. Description.—Length 33-38 mm. Differs from preceding species in following characters only. Scars of mentum sometimes more or less distinctly united behind to form a W-shaped figure as in Parapelopides. Upper surface of head less strongly rugose; outer tubercles more prominent, their middle denticle usually obsolete, the inner one always broad and distally truncate in unworn specimens. Mesosternum rarely punctured in lateral angles. Posterior intermediate areas of met aster nam sparsely punctured in one specimen. (Wnus GNAPHALOCNEMIS, Heller. Gnaphalocnemis simple
