190 NEOPHARSALrA VAGANS. 



Elytra straight at the base , rouuded at the shoulders , 

 the sides slightly narrowing towards the apex , where they 

 are truncate in an oblique direction towards the suture ; co- 

 vered with a deep punctuation , strongest and somewhat 

 granular at the base, and gradually diminishing near the 

 tip. Derm brown , covered with a sparse greyish pile, or- 

 nated with a few scattered ochraceous spots, chiefly near 

 the shoulders, whilst the apical third is almost entirely 

 occupied by more or less confluent spots of the same colour. 



Under surface and legs pale brown , clothed with a fine 

 greyish pubescence , on the abdominal segments some in- 

 distinct ochraceous patches ; mesosternum provided with 

 a small obtuse knob. 



The female differs only by the shorter antennae and the 

 less attenuated elytra. 



Length 14 — 15 mm., breadth at the shoulders 5 — 6 

 mm. — In Mus. van de Poll. 



Allied to N. Costeri v. d. Poll, but much more slender, 

 the elytra longer and less attenuated , the antennary tubers 

 more strongly pointed at the innerside , the mesosternum 

 slightly produced. 



I captured a 9 specimen at Pandan Aroem , an estate 

 on the southern slopes of the Goenoeng Endoet in the 

 Preanger districts (W. Java). Moreover I have had at my 

 disposal two cf examples from Soekaranda: Langkat-Deli 

 (E. Sumatra), and another male from South Borneo. Finally 

 Mr. Neervoort van de Poll noticed the presence of specimens 

 from Celebes in the Dresden Museum.
