54; JAVANESE BRENTHIDAE. 



pedibusgue ferrugineo-rufis nitidis; capite pone oculos dis- 

 tincte angulato J oculis mediocribus , prothorace canaliculato , 

 elytris striatis , apici in medio emarginatis , angulis externis 

 marginato-subrotundatis. — Long. 5 — 6V2 mm. 



Hab. Western Java. 



cf. Head angulate at the sides behind the eyes, truncate 

 at the base, convex above, channelled ; the portion between 

 the eyes narrow in front; eyes moderate for the genus; 

 metarostrum furrowed, prorostrum distinctly enlarged at 

 the tip. Antennae almost as long as the entire body, slender, 

 delicately hairy, with the joints cylindrical. 



Prothorax sub-ovate, constricted at the apical margin, 

 convex above , channelled. 



Elytra elongate, emarginate at the base with the shoul- 

 ders rounded and slightly callous, the sides almost parallel, 

 the tip emarginate in the middle with the external angles 

 margined and almost rounded ; depressed above along the 

 sutural region , striate with the dorsal interstices curved , 

 the 1st (sutural) deplanate , the 2nd interrupted behind the 

 middle , the 3'"^ enlarged near the apex ; sides of the elytra 

 distinctly striate. 



Legs regular. Body beneath chestnut , shining ; the head 

 and rostrum punctured except on the median line, meta- 

 sternum and base of the abdomen convex, shallowly im- 

 pressed. 



In the female the head is hardly shorter and broader, 

 the portion between the eyes broader, the eyes smaller, 

 the antennae short and robust, shaped as in some species 

 of Cerobates but with the apical joints slightly longer, 

 the apex of the elytra is margined and rounded, the tarsi 

 are shorter ; beneath the rostrum only is punctured. 



By the head , angled behind the eyes , J. angulaticeps is 

 allied to J. carinensis Senna but distinguished by the eyes 

 which in the new species are smaller, by the head being chan- 

 nelled and not furrowed, by the prothorax differently co- 

 loured and finally by the elytral apex which is otherwise 

 shaped.
