Phytophaga Malay ana. 19 



bercle, apical margin truncate ; the deep lateral constriction, 

 conjoined with the dorsal groove, causes the thorax to ap- 

 pear strangulate behind its middle, resembling much in shape 

 the thorax of L. Papuana. Scutellum subquadrate, its apex trun- 

 cate. Elytra much broader than the thorax, nearly three times its 

 length, parallel, transverse impression below the basilar space 

 broad and deep but ill defined ; interspaces between the rows of 

 punctures, when viewed under a lens, finely but not closely 

 punctured. Hinder thighs slightly thicker than the others, extend- 

 ing nearly to the apex of the fourth abdominal segment ; un- 

 guiculi of all the legs black.
