NEW PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA 55 



rences I cannot find and I have little doubt that those pointed 

 out are the results of variation. The following species however 

 although nearly exactly similarly coloured, I believe to be di- 

 stinct. 



49. Spliaerodevina Beccarli. 



Ovate, convex; piceous or dark fulvous below; antennae and 

 legs pale fulvous; head and thorax dark fulvous; the latter fi- 

 nely punctured; elytra black, closely and distinctly punctured, 

 the apex fulvous. 



Var. a. last 5 joints of the antennae black. 



Var. b. elytral margin obscure fulvous. 



Length 1 72 ^^'^^' 



Sumatra, Mt. Singalang, July, Sungei-Bulu, September ; Java, 

 Tcibodas, October (0. Beccari). 



Of this species, which as remarked above, resembles almost 

 entirely the proceeding , there are four specimens before me, of 

 which scarcely one agrees exactly with the other ; in one the 

 elytra have a metallic bluish gloss , in the other the same parts 

 have the lateral margin obscure fulvous , while a third has the 

 terminal 5 joints of the antennae black; they all agree however 

 in size and punctuation ; the head is impunctate and as well as 

 the labrum fulvous; the antennae are rather robust and extend 

 to half the length of the elytra, the second and third joints 

 being of equal length ; the thorax is very finely and the elytra 

 much more strongly punctured, the punctuation of the latter 

 is arranged in closely approached rows; the much larger size, 

 colour of the labrum and of the antennae will separate this 

 species from S. apkipennis. 



50. Splxaeroclevma funelbris, n. sp. 



Fulvous; antennae, their 4 basal joints excepted, black; tho- 

 rax finely punctured; elytra black, extreme apical margin ob- 

 scure fulvous, surface strongly semipunctate-striate. 



Length 1 ^/^^ line.
