Hah. Pura I. (between Alor and Pantar), October 1891. 



The thorax is not so long as in the preceding .species, and the elytra are differently

 frontal elevations obsolete, lower portion of the face with a semicircular ridge, elypeus 

 triangularly raised, labrum fulvous, cavities of the antennae of the same colour, 

 antennae long and slender, black, the first joint elongate, club-shaped, the second 

 very short, the third one half shorter than the fourth joint, the others of equal length ; 

 thorax slightly longer than broad, the sides straight, a little narrowed at the base, the 

 surface with two small but deep foveae, finely granulate and punctured, gr-eenish black ;
