RHYNCHOPHORA MALAYANA 299 



Hab. Java, Ploem {Wallace). 



The three Java specimens in the collection appear to have 

 past their prime , but I don't hesitate to identify them with one 

 found also in Java by M.'' Wallace. It is a narrower species 

 than S. cinereus, tlie sculpture somewhat different, no spots on 

 the elytra, and the body beneath denuded. I have followed 

 Schonherr in using furfur to designate the pecuhar form of 

 scales which under the microscope, seems to be composed of 

 very minute hairs. 



Meg-aproctus.

A-iiatliyiuus. 



Caput antice rotundatum; oculi ovati, tenuiter granulati; rostrum me- 

 diocre, rectum, scrobes basales, punctiformes. Antennie breviusculae ; scapus 

 breviter clavatus; funicuhis 6-articulatus, articulis quatuor ultimis trans- 

 versis; clava parva subglobosa. Prothorax oblongus, basi subbisinuatus. 

 Scutellum elongatum. Elytra protliorace paulo latiora, brevia, subplanata. 

 Pygidium convexum, elongato-triangiilare, Metasternum elongatum. Ab- 

 domen segmenti^, ultimo excepto, breviusculis. Pedes intermedii minores; 

 femora tibi«que compressse, ilia mutica, hse apice breviter calcaratae; tarsi 

 breves, articulo penultimo amjiliato; unguiculi liberi. 



An isolated genus which for the present I would place bet- 

 ween Megaproctus and PeriphetniiSj but the legs are different 

 from either, as well as the two comparatively short basal segments 

 of the abdomen. The hairs of the femora and tibiae are much 

 longer and more densely set than is represented in the figure.
