JAVANESE BKENTHIDAE. 59 



Hah. Western Java. 



cT. Head short, transverse, slightly emarginate at the 

 base, not angulate at the sides, the eyes are prominent 

 and touching the base of the head ; convex above, smooth, 

 the front foveolate. Metarostrum as long as the head, 

 slightly conical with the sides oblique , but sometimes 

 slightly curved, above furrowed in the middle; mesorostrum 

 moderately enlarged and rounded, almost smooth; pro- 

 rostrum longer than the metarostrum , slender , cylindrical , 

 not enlarged at the tip. Antennae clubshaped, with the 

 median joints almost moniliform, the Q^li and 10th larger, 

 rounded; the apical joint ovato-conical , shorter than the 

 two preceding together. 



Prothorax ovate, distinctly angustate anteriorly, deeply 

 furrowed, smooth at the sides, shining. 



Elytra longer and slightly broader before the middle 

 than the prothorax, the shoulders distinctly angulate, the 

 sides moderately curved, the apex rounded; above with two 

 furrows on each side of the sutural interstice, the remain- 

 ing portion is smooth , shining. 



Legs as in T. bisulcatus (Lund). Body beneath very 

 shining, the apophysis of the prosternum is broad, the 

 metasternum and the base of the abdomen are slightly 

 furrowed. 



The female differs by the metarostrum and the apical 

 joint of the antennae which are shorter and by the pro- 

 rostrum which is longer and more slender. 



This interesting species may be placed near T. bisulcatus 

 by the general shape of the prothorax and elytra, but 

 the rostrum is not enlarged at the tip in the male and the 

 shape of the head recalls the genus Ceocephalus; the cha- 

 racter of the eyes (touching the base of the head) is peculiar 

 to this species.
