194; MIOLISPA TRACHELIZOIDES. 



pite latiore quam longiore, angulis posticis rotundatis et 

 prominulis , supra caaaliculato, puuctato; rostro basibrevi, 

 trisulcato, sulcis interdum squamosis, parte antica conspicue 

 longiore , lateribus profuude sulcata , supra punctulata , api- 

 cera versus modice ampliata ; antennis brevibus , breviter 

 clavatis; prothorace oblongo-ovato, supra sat crebre punc- 

 tato, in medio sulcato; elytris usque ad declivitatem api- 

 calem lateribus paralleiis , deinde attenuatis , apice breviter 

 marginatis , angulo externe rotundato , interno levissime 

 prominulo ; supra in disco subclathratis , lateribus foveato- 

 sulcatis, sulco 1° indistincte punctato, vel impunctato, 

 interstitiis irregulariter sparsimque punctulatis. 



Long. 10—12 mill. 



Hab. Sumatra. — Two males (cotypi) , Leyden Museum 

 and my own collection. — The specimen of the Leyden 

 Museum has been captured by Mr. J. A. N. Schagen van 

 Leeuwen in Deli. 



This species is remarkable by the head of the male 

 being broader than long, shaped almost as in some oriental 

 species of Trachelizus , and by the apical portion of the 

 rostrum which is distinctly longer than the basal one. In 

 M. elegans Senna the hind angles of the head are pro- 

 minent and rounded, this character is well visible in the 

 new species, but it is combined with the shortness of the 

 head, nevertheless I have no objection in describing it as a 

 Miolispa^\i\x which genus it corresponds in general structure. 



Head short, broader than long, enlarged at the base, 

 the hind angles rounded and prominent , the base is emar- 

 ginate in the middle, notched at the sides, sometimes sca- 

 led ; above it is furrowed , almost bilobed , punctured. 

 Basal portion of the rostrum nearly as long as the head , 

 parallel at the sides, trisulcate, scaled or not, the median 

 furrow is narrower between the antennae; apical portion 

 longer than the head and basal portion together , almost 

 cylindrical , moderately enlarged towards the apex , finely 

 punctured above , deeply furrowed at the sides. Antennae 

 short , hardly as long as the rostrum , club-shaped , with
