RHYNCHOPHORA MALAYAN A 217 



Myllocero affinis sed elytra ovata, I. c hiimeris careiitibiis. Tibi;B po- 

 sticfe apice apertse; unguiculi liberi Metasternum modice elongatmn. 



The elytra not broader than the prothorax at the base is 

 contrary to the character which Lacordaire ascribes to his group 

 « Phyllobiides -> in which MijUocerus is placed. This character , 

 however, seems to me to be less important than those which 

 he uses for the other groups of his « Otiorhynchides ».
