146 Phyfophaga Malay ana. 



Head coarsely but very distantly punctured, the punctures 

 rather more closely placed towards the lower portion of the frout ; 

 epistome subcampanulate, its apex separated from the front by a 

 deep groove, which extends across between the supra-orbiial 

 grooves, extreme apical suture obsolete; anterior margin armed 

 with two very short obtuse teeth ; surface more coarsely and 

 closely punctured than the front ; jaws and antennae black, six 

 outer joints of the latter very slightly thickened, blueish-black. 

 Thorax more than twice as broad as long ; sides rounded and 

 converging from base to apex, nearly parallel at the extreme 

 base, anterior angles produced, acute ; surface transversely con- 

 vex, sides strongly deflexed in front. Elytra broadly oblong, 

 convex, not excavated below the basilar space ; surface deeply and 

 coarsely punctured, irregularly arranged in longitudinal rows, 

 which towards the apex become less numerous and very regular ; 

 interspaces on the outer disk thickened and transversely reticulate, 

 on the middle and outer portions of the disk they form strong 

 longitudinal costae.

Head irregularly and distantly punctured, obliquely rugose- 

 strigose on either side above the eyes, the middle of the front 

 impressed with a deep but ill-defined longitudinal groove; epi- 

 stome triangular, sides slightly rounded, converging backwards, the 

 apex narrowly obsolete ; anterior border tri-emarginate, surface 

 more closely punctured than the front ; antennae slender, filiform, 

 blueish-black, basal joint nigro-seneous, stained with piceous be- 

 neath ; labrum black. Thorax nearly three times as broad as 

 long, the sides nearly straight and parallel from the base to a short 

 distance behind the middle, thence obliquely converging and 

 slightly rounded to the apex, anterior angle produced, acute ; 

 above convex, sides moderately deflexed in front, surfiice coarsely
