GROUVELLE), but they are quite different, because the new species has the distinct longitudinal rows of larger puntures on the elytra, much coarser and rather dense punctures on the metasternum, sharply carinate prosternum, markedly wider antennái club and clear suturai angle between elytral apices. Finally, the proportions of lengths of antennomeres in antennái stem and shape of mentum are also quite characteristic and those in this new species are similar to those in C. literátus. Etymology - The Latin name of this new species is formed from the species epithet of C. literátus, being similar to it, and the Greek prefix "pseudo" (falsely). Cyllodes scriptum sp. n. (Figs 138-139, 152-156) Description of male (holotype) - Length 4.5, width 3.0, height 1.7 mm. Strongly convex dorsally and slightly convex ventrally (Figs 152); dorsum and antennae blackish, but anterior part of head, pronotal sides, a pairs of small spots on pronotum, 2 patches on each elytron, pygidium and antennomeres 1—4 as well as underside and rest appendages bright reddish; dorsum glabrous, and underside with moderately dense, fine and short slightly conspicuous hairs. Head and pronotum with distinct punctures, markedly smaller than eye facets in diameter, interspaces between them 2-3 times as broad as a puncture diameter (on pronotal disk even broader), smoothly alutaceous. Elytral surface with puncturation as those on head and pronotum, but on disk punctures becoming smaller and sparser and longitudinal rows of larger punctures (about as large as eye facets), separated by about a puncture diameters; interspaces between punctures smoothly acutaceous. Pygidium with punctures, similar to head and pronotum, but somewhat larger, interspaces between them slightly broader than a puncture diameter and smoothly microreticulate. Prosternum with punctures larger than eye facets in diameter, interspaces between them considerably narrower than a puncture diameter, smoothly microreticulated. Metasternum and ventrites with punctures, about as large as those on dorsal sclerite, interspaces between them 1—4 as broad as a puncture diameter, densely and finely (more or less smoothly) microreticulated. Head slightly convex, slightly shorter than distance between moderate large yes (consisting of moderately small facets). Labrum subtruncate, but with with somewhat arcuate contour of lobes, forming a short excision. Mandibles slightly exposed from under frons. Right antenna missing and left antenna without last antennomere (Fig. 153), antennomere 3 slightly longer than antennomere 2, the latter slightly longer than antennomere 4. Pronotum evenly and strongly convex. Scutellum large and subtriangular. Elytra steeply sloping, subsutural lines weakly expressed only at apices, which are widely rounded forming a joint continuing line (without suturai angle). Pygidium with subtruncate apex, from under which apex of anal sclerite is exposed. Last labial palpomere about 1.5 times as long as wide, slightly narrowed apically. Mentum subquadrangular, about twice as wide as long. Antennái grooves well outlined and slightly deepened, slightly convergent posteriorly, the least distance between them nearly twice as broad as mentum wide. Prosternum medially vaulted (not carinate), with flattened and moderately short process (Figs 138-139), steeply abrupt in median plane. Mesosternum deeply excavate and sharply carinate. The distance between mesocoxae about 3 times broader and that between metacoxae about 2.5 times broader than that between metacoxae. Metasternum subflattened, without a visible median suture, about 1 and 2/5 as long as prosternum with process, its anterior edge between coxae emarginate and
