Long. 2g lin. 



Hab. Singapore. 



Head rather longer than in the last species ; a large triangular 

 space on either side between the eyes, separating the epistome 

 and front, finely rugose and covered with fine adpressed whitish 

 sericeous hairs ; epistome and front nearly smooth, shining, gla- 

 brous ; three or four lower joints of antennae pale fulvous beneath. 

 Thorax nearly three times as broad as long; basal margin sinuate 

 on either side, the medial lobe scarcely produced, obtusely rounded; 

 sides rounded, narrowed before their middle ; the upper sur- 

 face smooth and shining, minutely punctured, sinuate on eitlier 

 side the basal lobe, and impressed with a shallow fovea just 

 within the lateral margin ; a large patch on the middle of the 

 disc, attached by its base to the hinder margin, and extending 

 forwards nearly to the anterior border, together with a small 

 round spot on either side, black. Scutellum smooth, triangular, 

 slightly rounded on the sides, its apex obtuse. Elytra not broader 

 at their base than the thorax, indistinctly dilated posteriorly ; 

 upper surface distinctly punctured, transversely impressed at the. 

 extreme base, the basal margin being retuse. Apical segment of 

 abdomen in the $ deeply impressed with a large ovate fovea. 



The different pattern and the black colour of the elytra will 

 at once distinguish this species from the two preceding.
