Long. 10 mm., rostr. 1'^, elytr. 7, lat. 5. 



The spot behind the shoulder of the elytra is of a whiter tint than tlie other 

 spot.s on the upperside. 



The two inale specimens before me are slightly different ; in the smaller one 

 the rostrum is less impressed at tlie apex, since the two dorsal impressions are not 

 extended beyond the insertion of the antennae, and the elytra are distinctly striate- 

 punctuate, not simply seriately punctuate, as in the type-specimen. 



Hah. Java occid., Sukabumi, 2,000 feet {type), and Pengalengan, 4,000 feet (H. 

 Fruhstorfer, 1893). 



In the tarsi not being elongate, this species differs from the other forms of 

 Mecocerus, and is, in this cliaracter, a connecting link between Mecoceriis and 

 Physopterus.

The two dorsal carinae of the rostrum which limit the median sulcus run along 

 t he ujiper margin of the eyes and form a kind of eyelarow.
