30 Phytnphaga Malayana. 



Head elongate-trigonate ; eyes black, deeply notched ; antennae 

 very robust, scarcely more than half the length of the body, 

 thickened from beyond the second joint, scarcely tapering at their 

 apex ; joints cylindrical, the terminal joints being scarcely more 

 slender than the preceding ones. Thorax about one-fourth longer 

 than broad, sides moderately constricted in their n)iddle ; upper 

 surface smooth, nitidous, impressed on the middle disc with some 

 very minute punctures, only visible under a lens. Scutellum tri- 

 gonate, its apex obtuse ; surface covered with adpressed sericeous 

 hairs. Elytra much broader than the thorax, but nevertheless 

 narrower than in C. semipiinctata, parallel, broadly depressed 

 transversely below the basilar space, the base itself moderately 

 elevated ; surface punctured entirely as in C. semipunctata, with 

 this exception, that the rows of punctures are quite obsolete below 

 the middle of the elytra, a single row of fine punctures near the 

 suture, and another on the outer margin, alone excepted, the place 

 of the absent punctures being indicated however by a small 

 piceous spot. The pubescence on the body beneath is much 

 abraded in the solitary specimen before me, but that on the ab- 

 domen appears to be arranged in four rows of fasciculi. 



5. Ciioceris obUterata, n. sp. 



Late oblonga, fulvo-rufa, nitida ; thorace subquadrato, medio 

 modice coarctato, remote punctato ; antennis (articulo basali 

 excepto), femorum apice, tibiis, tarsis elytrisque nigris, 

 his thorace multo latioribus, basi elevatis, infra basin late 

 transversim impressis, punctato-striatis, striis supra sulcum 

 transversum una vel altera prope basin, alteraque prope 

 suturam profunde impressis, CEeteris deletis ; scutello sericeo. 



Var. A. Fulva, antennis pedibusque ut in typo, pectore nigro ; 

 elytris fulvis, piceo-punctato-striatis. 



Long. Sg lin. 



Hab. Dory, New Guinea. 



Head deeply constricted behind the eyes, face triangular, ex- 

 cavated between the eyes, impressed at the apex of the epistome 

 with a short longitudinal groove ; antennae longer than half the 

 length of the body, moderately robust, slightly tapering at their 

 extremity, but scarcely fusiform ; joints cylindrical, the first ob- 

 scure rufous, nearly globular, incrassate, second shorter than the 

 first, third and fourth equal, each being twice as long again as the 

 second, fifth almost as long as the two preceding united, sixth and 

 following nearly equal, severally rather shorter than the fifth.
