174 THE BRENTHID^ FROM JAVA. 



useful to give here a complete description , because Mr. 

 Desbrochers does not speak of some of its characters. 



Head nearly square , slightly narrower at the apex , 

 vrith the base emarginate , the hinder angles subacute , 

 channeled above and punctate, sometimes the furrow ob- 

 solete or wanting, the sides with a few hairs: beneath it 

 is deeply punctured. Rostrum short, the basal portion as 

 long as the head , furrowed above and excavate at the 

 sides : the apical part of the same length or hardly longer, 

 briefly or not furrowed and almost not enlarged at the 

 apex. Antenna3 moderately long and equal in length to 

 the thorax and head taken together: the 1st joint is cla- 

 vate and longer than the 2nd and 3rd together; the 2nd 

 subquadrate, the 3rd obconic, the remainder transverse 

 and equal; the three apical joints perfoliate, as long as 

 the preceding ones taken together (except the basal joint) ; 

 the 9th and 10th subcylindrical , the 11th of the same 

 length as the 9th and 10th taken together and obtusely 

 acuminate at the tip. Neck robust, deeply separated from 

 the head. 



Prothorax as long as the head and rostrum united , 

 narrower at the apex, enlarged towards the middle and 

 subparallel at the sides ; the base has a raised margin ; 

 above it is channeled and rugoso-punctate. 



Elytra of the same length as the thorax, head and 

 rostrum together, with the base slightly emarginate, the 

 shoulders rounded, the sides subparallel, the apical decli- 

 vity narrower, the apex emarginate and the outer angles 

 rounded ; above deeply sulcato-puuctate , the punctures 

 recfular, the interstices narrower and raised, the 1st and 

 2nd furrow from the suture impunctate. 



Metasternum and the two basal abdominal segments 

 punctured and excavate in the middle; the sides of the 

 body , except those of the apical segments , are clothed 

 with a band of very minute and densely set yellowish or 

 whitish scales. Legs moderately robust, scattered with a 

 few hairs.
