164 THE BftENTHID^ FROM JAVA. 



3rd aud 4th taken together ; the 2ud curved externally , 

 the 3rd narrow at the base, the 4th — 8th joints trans- 

 verse and slightly differing from one another in length ; 

 9th and 10th scarcely longer, the apical one is pointed at 

 the tip. 



Prothorax oblong, equal in length to the antennae, at 

 the apical margin slightly narrower than at the base where 

 it is limited by an elevated and sinuate border; behind 

 the middle broader and moderately curved at the lateral 

 margins, with a furrow above and scaled punctures; the 

 punctures are posteriorly more numerous and wanting to- 

 wards the apex at the sides. In the female the prothorax 

 is broader and more robust than in the male. 



The elytra are as long as twice the prothorax and of the 

 same broadness; they have the base notched, the humeral 

 angles rounded and scarcely callous , the sides subparallel , 

 the apical declivity and the apex with explanate and 

 moderately upturned edge (in the 9 simply explanate) : 

 above uniformly and deeply sulcato-punctate ; the 1st fur- 

 row near the suture narrower and superficially punctured ; 

 the interstices raised, the sutural line of a darker color 

 than the rest. 



The under surface of the body reddish and shining; 

 metasternum furrowed , with distinct punctures only at the 

 sides , the central part and the two basal segments of the 

 abdomen very finely punctured, the 1st slightly excava- 

 ted; the apical margin of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th seg- 

 ment with a transverse row of punctures and sometimes 

 scaled; the apical segment is punctured. Legs regular and 

 of the same color as the body. 



This species belongs to the group of T. scrohicollis Gylh. 

 and T. puncticoUis Boh. which have the prothorax punctu- 

 red and furrowed, but it is easily distinguished especially 

 by the head and elytra which are of a different shape. 



Hab. Java. — A single female collected by Dr. S. Mul- 

 ler (Leyden Museum) and a male in my collection. — I 

 have also another male and two females from Penang.
