PHYTOPHAGA FROM SUMATRA 439 



with ;i narrow central smooth space, frontal elevations absent, 

 lower portion finely puhesccnt, antennae scarcely extending to 

 the middle of the elytra, black, the lower three or four joints 

 llaAous, third and fourth joints equal, slightly longer than the 

 second, l)ut much more slender, thorax scarcely twice as broad 

 as long, the sides nearly "Straiglit , the anterior angles oblique, 

 but to a small extent, the surface rather closely and strongly 

 punctured at the sides, more remotely so at the middle, wliere 

 there is generally a short longitudinal space, free from punc- 

 tures, basal margin not accompanied l)y an impressed line or 

 groove, elytra pointed at the apex, the punctures nmch larger 

 than those of the thorax, closely placed, the first interspace at 

 tlie suture more irregularly punctured, those at the sides lon- 

 gitudinally costate, the punctures at the apex rather smaller 

 tlian those at the l)ase, but very distinct, elytral epipleurae with 

 a few deep punctures only, posterior femora aeneous, penis 

 sliglitly curved, of even width, its apex obliquely rounded, its 

 extreme apex slightly truncate. 



Hah. Padang. 



To be separated from other Malayan species by the closely 

 punctured head, the strong punctures of the thorax and the still 

 more strongly })unctured elytra; there is however some difference 

 amongst the specimens before me, in regard to the punctuation 

 of the head, which is in some rather strongly and evenly and 

 in otiiers more finely punctured, with a smooth narrow central 

 space, more or less distinct, the thorax also shows some depres- 

 sion near the base in some specimens, but I am not able to 

 separate these forms satisfactorily. 



80. Chaetocnema granulicollis, n. sp. — Below nearly black, 

 the basal joints of the antennae and the tibiae and tarsi, fiavous, 

 thorax finely graimlate and ])unctured, greenisli, elytra blackish- 

 green or brownish , strongly punctate-striate , the interstices 

 costate.
