52 JAVANESE BRENTHIDAE. 



The prothorax and the elytral interstices are scattered 

 with short hairs as in well preserved specimens. The apical 

 joint of the antennae is slightly shorter than in a specimen 

 from New Guinea which I have under my eyes, and the 

 prothorax as well as the elytra are narrower and a little 

 longer. These differences may be sexual characters. 



2. Cerobates adustus Senna, Notes from the Leyden 

 Museum, vol XVI, p. 184, 1894. 



Eastern Java (Tengger Mts., 4000'); Western Java (Pen- 

 galengan , 4000'). 



Two specimens. The sutural region is darker than the 

 general color of the body. 



3. Cerobates angnstipennis Senna, 1. c. p. 182, 1894. 

 Four specimens from the above named localities. These 



specimens , being of a chestnut color with the sutural 

 region darker, strongly resemble C. adustus Senna, but 

 they are easily distinguishable by the external stria touch- 

 ing the apex of the elytra and by these latter being 

 conspicuously attenuated towards the tip. The legs are 

 ferruginous or ferruginous brown. 



4. Cerobates tristi-iatas Lund, Skrivt. af naturhist. sels- 

 kab. V, 2, p. 66, 1802. 



Two specimens in the Brussels Museum. They are simply 

 labelled: Java, Fruhstorfer. 



5. Miolispa exarata Desbroch., Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, 

 vol. 59, II, p. 223, 1890. 



Western Java (Sukabumi, 2000'; Pengalengan , 4000'; 

 Mt. Gede, 4000'); Eastern Java (Tengger Mts., 4000'). 



Several males and females. 



Mr. Fruhstorfer wrote to me that this species has been 

 captured on flowers. 



This notice is important being the first ascertained 

 example of this habit in Brenthids which was already 

 indicated by Olivier'); the usual quarters of these insects 



1) Olivier (Entomologie ou Histoire naturelle des Insectes, V, 84, p. 429) 

 says: »ces insectes dont les habitudes sont de frequenter les fleurs pour se 

 nourrir du sue mielleux qu'elles distillent."
