Phytophiiga Malay ana. 137 



fuscous. Thorax transverse, sides nearly straight and parallel at 

 the base, thence obliquely rounded and converging to the apex ; 

 surface very finely granulose, remotely punctured. Elytra ob- 

 long, parallel, convex, obsoletely impressed below the basilar 

 space ; somewhat strongly and closely punctured, the puncturing 

 towards the apex scarcely finer than in front, arranged in nume- 

 rous longitudinal rows, regular near the sutural and outer mar- 

 gins, less regular on the middle disk ; towards the apex of the 

 elytron are some indistinctly-raised costae. 



4. Colaspo'ides inornala, n. sp. 



Oblonga, convexa, obscure fulva, nitida ; mandibulis anten- 

 narumque apicibus nigris ; thorace distincte sed subremote 

 punctate ; elytris sat fortiter punctatis, punctis in striis bi- 

 fariis confuse dispositis, striis apicem versus uniseriatis, in- 

 terspatiis ad apicem elevatis, subcostatis. 

 Long. 2^ lin. 

 Hab. Penang. 



Head finely and distantly punctured ; epistome sl'ghtly broader 

 than long, sides rounded and converging backwards, apical 

 border obsolete, anterior margin produced into two short very 

 obtuse teeth, the space between them concave-emarginate, surface 

 more closely and strongly punctured than the front ; antennse 

 slender, filiform, the ninth and following joints black. Thorax 

 rather darker than the elytra, more than twice as broad as long, 

 sides nearly straight and parallel at the base, thence obliquely 

 rounded and narrowed to the apex. Elytra nearly parallel, con- 

 vex, not impressed below the basilar space ; coarsely punctured, 

 the punctures irregularly placed in double longitudinal rows, which 

 become single and regular towards the apex of the elytron. 



5. Culaspoides biplagiata, n. sp, 

 Oblongo-ovata, rufo-fulva, nitida; elytris nigris, subcrebre 

 punctatis, utrisque plagd transversa rufo-fulva prope medium 

 posita ornatis. 

 Long. 2| lin. 

 Hab. Borneo (Sarawak). 



Head smooth, remotely and minutely punctured ; epistome 

 semiovate, continuous at its apex with the front, the apical margia
