profiinde trifoveolato , foveolis linea supra basin conjunctis, 

 antice medio longitudinaliter linea impressa, basi emargi- 

 uata , augulis posticis excisis , lateribus breviter unispinu- 

 losis ; elytris quailratis , subconvexis , fere lineatim disperse 

 pnnctulato-piliferis , striis suturali iutegra , discoidali apice 

 evauescente ; segmeutis abdominis tribus primis aequalibus , 

 utrinque medio plicatuliformiter impressis. — Long. P/g mm.,

Hab. Batavia (Sijthoff). — Appears to be rare. 



Maxillary palpi : the terminal joint as long as the termi- 

 nal joint of the antennae and as broad as one third of 

 its own length , acuminated towards the tip. — The club 

 of the antennae 3-jointed. The first and 2nd joints of 

 the antennae thickened , 3rd to 8th moniliform , a little broa- 

 der than long , 9 strongly transverse , one half broader 

 than long , 10 broader than 9 , short , conical , nearly as 

 broad as 11. — The head is provided with a deep horse- 

 shoe-shaped impression of which the convexity is directed 

 forwards and the sides grooved behind. — By the emar- 

 gination of the hind angles of the thorax a small acute 

 spine is formed before the middle of the lateral margins; 

 the external hind angles of the elytra are acute. — The 

 abdomen is not margined , smooth beneath , distantly punc- 

 tured at the borders , the punctures beset with rather long 

 decumbent hairs. — The hind coxae are not contiguous ; 

 I must for the present suspend my judgment as to the 

 question whether this may authorize us to place this in- 

 sect in the genus Philus.
