54 JAVANESE BRENTHIDAE. 



almost parallel at the sides and hardly enlarged at the 

 tip, slightly furrowed above in the basal half, the margins 

 feebly elevated and obsoletely scabrous , not toothed. 

 Beneath the rostrum is keeled along the middle, except in 

 the apical third ; the head and the base of the rostrum 

 have a row of punctures at the sides of the keel. Antennae 

 longer than the head and prothorax together, the 3i<i joint 

 is obconic, the 4th — g^b are rectangular, almost square, 

 the Qtli and lO^h longer, cylindrical; the apical joint is 

 elongate, as long as the two preceding ones, and obtusely 

 pointed at the tip. 



Prothorax ovate , as long as the head and rostrum taken 

 together, narrower at the apex , where it is transversely 

 furrowed, than at the base ; at the base it is terminated by 

 a large collar which is likewise transversely furrowed ; 

 convex above, glabrous, very shining, obsoletely channelled 

 near the base. 



Elytra shorter than twice the prothorax and hardly 

 broader than this; the base is emarginate, with the hu- 

 meral angles rounded and slightly callous , the sides are 

 straight , curved at the apical declivity ; the apex is emar- 

 ginate , the external angles are obtusely rounded ; punctured 

 and furrowed above, the 1st furrow near the suture is 

 narrower than the others and impunctate, the sutural in- 

 terstice is rather broad and depressed, the others are 

 narrower, raised, convex, scarcely curved at the base; 

 each elytron has 11 colored lines, arranged in the follow- 

 ing manner : the 2^^ interstice has three lines (one at the 

 base, another behind the middle and the 3'<l near the 

 apex, the basal line is the longest), the 3rd interstice has 

 a line before the middle and another shorter one behind 

 it , the 4tti bears a basal spot and a short line behind 

 the middle; on the 5th interstice there is a short line as 

 the preceding, on the 7th a line occupying the basal 

 third, but not touching the base, and, finally, the 8th in_ 

 terstice has a short line near the preceding and another at 

 the apical declivity,
