JAVANESE BRENTUIDAE. 55 



Legs rather robust, ferruginous-brown; thighs clubshaped 

 and spined , anterior tibiae enlarged at the apical third , 

 the last joint of the tarsi is elongate and strongly com- 

 pressed. Body beneath more reddish , anterior coxae con- 

 spicuously separated ; metasternum irregularly furrowed , 

 the two basal segments of the abdomen are broadly im- 

 pressed, the three following segments have the lateral 

 borders fringed with a yellow pubescence , the apical seg- 

 ment is also foveate. 



In the female the basal portion of the rostrum is slightly 

 sliorter than in the male, the median furrow only is con- 

 spicuous, the apical portion is cylindrical and slender; the 

 joints of the antennae are shorter, the prothorax is nar- 

 rower anteriorly, less enlarged behind the middle , the 

 channel of the base is wanting ; the elytra are nearly 

 truncate at the tip, the basal segments of the abdomen 

 are convex, the apical one hardly depressed. 



Length ISVa— I6V2 mill. ; width of the proth. 2V3 — 3 mill. 



Western Java (Mt. Tjikorai, 4000'). 



A male and a female in the Leyden Museum. 



I have a female, likewise from Java , in my own collection. 



The head broadly furrowed above, the basal portion of 

 the rostrum with three furrows, the 4tt — 8*^ joints of the 

 antennae which are nearly square, the broad prothorax and 

 the last joint of the tarsi which is strongly compressed , 

 are the characters by which Ps. Fruhstorferi m. is easily 

 distinguishable from all other species of this genus.
