42 Phytophaga Malayana. 



6. Temnaspis Cumingii, West wood. 

 Trans. Ent. Soc. 3rd Ser. ii. p. 276. 



Subelongata, parallela, sordide flava, nitida, sparse pubescens; 



fronte medio uni-foveolata ; metatliorace obtuse bi-mamillato. 

 Mas. — Femoribus posticis sat valde incrassatis, subtus bi- 



spinosis, spina antica longiori. 

 Long. 4g — 51 lin. 

 Hab. Manilla. 



Entirely similar to T. IVestwoodii , with the exception of the 

 following characters : — Colour flavous, the eyes and apex of jaws 

 black, the labrum, the tarsi above, and the claws fuscous ; hu- 

 meral callus with its apex rather more produced, almost sub- 

 acute; hinder thighs less thickened, the anterior spine being 

 produced nearly in the same line with the under edge of the 

 thigh, and forming a much less distinct angle with it than in the 

 preceding species. 



The above characters may appear very slight, but combined 

 with the difference of colour they are constant in the five indivi- 

 duals (two of T. Cumingii and three of T. IVestwoodii) that I have 

 been able to examine ; they appear to me, in a family where the 

 species are separated from each other by such slight differences, 

 sufficient to divide the two. 



7. Temnaspis arida, Westwood. 

 Trans. Ent. Soc. 3rd Ser. ii. p. 275. 



Subelongata, parallela, fulva, nitida, sparse pubescens ; meta- 

 tathorace bi-mamilloso, transversim striolato, abdomine un- 

 guiculisque nigro-piceis, pectore femoribusque posticis pallida 

 fulvo-piceis, his dorso nigro-piceis, antennis (basi excepta) 

 fuscis. 

 Mas ? — Femoribus posticis incrassatis, subtus bispinosis, spind 



antici longiori. 

 Long. 5^ lin. 

 Hab. Borneo. 



Front plane, the central fovea, present in the two preceding 

 species, obsolete, surface irregularly but not closely punctured ; 

 upper half of epistome slightly raised, smooth and shining, nearly 

 impunctate ; antennae nearly half the length of the body, joints 

 formed nearly as in the preceding species, the second and fourth 

 equal, each slightly longer than half the length of the third; joints 

 in the dilated portion rather less trigonate, subquadrate, the fifth 

 only slightly longer than the fourth, four basal joints flavo-fulvous ;
