Sides of the prothorax somewliat ]iiti-hy : base with a transverse groove, which 

 is slightly cnrved in the middle, and with a small but rather deep im])ressiou at 

 each side, midway between central line and angle. The stripes of the elytra are of 

 uniform breadth, except the first, which is narrowed from before the middle to the 

 apex, aud the seventh, which is narrowed and a little raised at the base. 



Hab. Halmahera (W. Doherty). 



Distinguished from the other species of the same size chiefly by the interstices 

 of the elytra being equal iu breadth.

Belongs to the group of Colpodes which has the epiplenra of the metasternum 

 elongate, the tibiae canaliculate, the tarsi bisulcate, and the penultimate joint of the 

 hind tarsi strongly nnilobed. 



Pitchy brown, somewhat shining, with the palpi, antennae, the lateral margin 

 of the prothorax, the epiplenra of the elytra and the legs rufous ; and with the head, 

 prothorax and elytra blackisli. The prothorax, having the front parts of the sides 

 and the fore angles rounded, is shortly cordate, with the hind angles oblique but 

 distinct ; broader than long, and jiunctnatcd at the sides, with the punctuation 

 especially dense and coarse in the flattened grooves near the hind angles ; the 

 disc has slight transverse wrinkles and a deep median line. The elytra are sim])ly 

 striate, the interstices slightly convex at the extreme base and at the apex ; Miinl
