The prosternum is covereci with a rusty-red pubescence 

 and provided with large and deep punctures. The meso- 

 and metasternum and the undersurface of the abdomen 

 show traces of a tlnii a^^hy pile and a few punctures at 

 the lateral and apical margins. The femora are naked 

 and shining with the exception of the vicinity of the knees 

 where a rusty-red pubescence is present which is narrowly 

 continued along the lower edge of the front side. The 

 tibiae are compressed and covered in front and behind 

 with a rusty-red pubescence; the outer margin is naked 

 and deeply grooved all along ; on the anterior tibiae this 

 groove is shallow. 



Hab. Sumatra: Kotta Zuydewijn near Solok (J. H. Scha- 

 gen van Leeuwen). — A single male specimen. 



I have dedicated this species , which has the broad el- 

 liptical shape of the antennal club and the grooved outer 

 margin of the tibiae in common with Xi/lhiades rugosus 

 Gylh., to my friend Mr. W. Roelofs, of Brussels, who has 

 so carefully worked out the Curculiouidae and allied fa- 

 milies from Japan.
