dominisqiie basi, nigris ; elytris distincte punctatis, punctis 

 subseriatim dispositis, ad apicem minus distinctis. (^Foem.) 



Long. 3 lin. 



Hab. Malay Archipelago. 



Head short, nearly transverse; face smooth, impunctate, obso- 

 letely wrinkled on its upper part, impressed between the eyes 

 with three deep fovea?, placed in a triangle, the upper one less 

 distinct than the others ; eyes large, subprominent, their inner 

 edge slightly notched ; antennas scarcely longer than the head and 

 thorax, basal joint thickened, second short, slightly thickened, 

 third short, much smaller than the second, the remaining joints 

 compressed, triangularly dilated ; four lower joints flavous, the 

 others black. Thorax more than twice as broad as long, sides 

 broadly rounded at the base, thence obliquely rounded and con- 

 verging to the apex, hinder angles entirely obsolete ; basal margin 

 truncate on either side, medial lobe distinct, slightly produced, 

 broadly truncate; upper surface transversely convex, smooth and 

 shining, impunctate ; immediately in front of the basal lobe and 

 somewhat trenching on its surface is a distinct transverse groove. 

 Scutellum large, trigonate, its extreme apex truncate. Elytra 

 distinctly lobed at the base, sides sinuate in the middle, upper 

 surface smooth, distinctly and somewhat deeply punctured on the 

 anterior disc, the punctures becoming much fainter and nearly 

 obsolete towards the apex of the elytron. Anal segment of ab- 

 domen impressed with the usual fovea.

Subelongata, subcylindrica, flavo-alba, nitida ; antennarum apice, 



elytrorum singulorum vitta brevi obliqua prope suturam po- 



sita, margine apicali, plagaque subapicali margine adfixa, fus- 



^ cis; elytris confuse punctato-striatis, striis postice fere deletis.

Head flat, impunctate, triangularly excavated between the lower 

 portion of the eyes ; the latter subprominent, obsoletely notched ; 

 antennse with their apical half nigro-fuscous ; basal joint mode- 

 rately dilated, the second short, moniliform, the third nearly twice 

 the length of the second, trigonate, the remaining joints dilated 

 and compressed, subtrigonate. Thorax nearly three times as 

 broad at the base as long ; sides rounded at the base, thence ob- 

 liquely rounded and converging to their apex, hinder angles 

 obsolete; basal margin truncate on either side, medial lobe pro-
