224 ON THE GENUS CEROBATES, 



the preceding one, almost cylindrical, pointed at the tip. 



Prothorax oblong-ovate, narrower anteriorly than at the 

 base , depressed above , furrowed up to the apical margin. 



Elytra elongate, the sides almost parallel, the apex 

 rounded with the suture emarginate and the external angle 

 shortly dentate; depressed above, tristriate near the sutural 

 interstice in the basal half, the S^d stria is interrupted 

 near the middle of the elytra , sideways they are smooth , 

 shining. 



Legs regular. Body beneath more reddish , shining ; 

 metasternum and base of abdomen furrowed in the middle. 



This species is easily distinguishable from all other known 

 at present, by the peculiar character of the elytra, these 

 having the external apical angles toothed ; on the other 

 hand it is closely allied to C. australasiae Fairm. and C. 

 sumatranus Senna.
