M. Allard has described a Monolepla from Malacca 

 (W. castanea) with vvhich I cannot identify the present species. 

 as Allard gives the entire colour as black, excepting the elytra 

 which are rufous. this would therefore apply also to the antennae 

 Mhich are not black but flavous in M. rußpennis. The elytral

 are present.
