Phytophaya Malayana. 91 



each elytron with a short subsutural stripe placed at the apex, 

 another submarginal, also apical and confluent with the former, 

 and also with four small patches arranged as follows, viz.: — one 

 just before the middle, two others sub^arallel just behind the mid- 

 dle, and the fourth halfway between the middle and apex. These 

 markings are all formed of white adpressed scales. 



The black, shining, nearly glabrous body of this insect, con- 

 trasted with the well-defined patches of white scales ornamenting 

 the surface, gives it an entirely different aspect to any other 

 known species of the genus.
