PllYTOPIIAGA KUOM SUMATRA 451 



gin ol)li(iiu4y sinuate at each side, the surface very iinely but 

 sparingly [iunctured, Havuus, scutelluni small, black, elytra con- 

 vex, with about ten rows of distinct punctures, Havous, the base 

 occupied by a narrow black Ijand which widenes towards the 

 suture, down which it extends nearly to the middle, at the la- 

 teral margins it is connected with another transverse band below 

 the middle which is widened at the sides and does not quite 

 extend to the suture, breast and legs black, aJxlomen Havous, 

 posterior tibiae armed with a short spine , presternum broader 

 than long, sul)quadrate, mesosternum scarcely visible, anterior 

 coxal cavities open. 



Hab. Si-Ram bé. 



There are two specimens of this species contained in the pre- 

 sent collection for which Baly's genus Eucijda seems to l^e the 

 best place ; the structure of the clypeus is rather peculiar and 

 the antennae are very closely approached at the base, their long- 

 basal joint and the punctate-striate elytra agree with the typical 

 forms. 



D6. Eucycia limbatipennis, n. sp. — Subhaemispherical, piceous, 

 the basal joint of the antennae and the apical segment of the 

 abdomen, fulvous, thorax strongly transverse, finely punctured, 

 elytra punctate-striate, the interstices finely punctured, fiavous, 

 the suture narrowly, and the sides more broadly piceous. 



Length 1 72 line. 



Head with a few minute punctures, black, the frontal tubercles 

 only indicated by narrow transverse ridges, clypeus raised into 

 a triangular acute ridge, laljrum and palpi obscure fulvous, eyes 

 very large, elongate , antennae closely approached at the base, 

 extending to the base of the elytra, the basal joint elongate 

 and slender, stained with fulvous, the following two joints short, 

 equal, fourth and following joints more elongate and slightly 

 thickened, black, thorax nearly three times broader than long, 

 the sides straight, narrowed in front, the anterior angles 

 thickened, not produced, the posterior margin broadly rounded 

 and produced at the middle, the surface finely, not very closely 

 and irregularly punctured, scutelluni small, elytra very convex
