Phytophaga Malay ana. 159 



coarsely piinctate-stn'ate, interspaces impressed with numerous 

 punctures of equal size and depth with those on the striae them- 

 selves, rendering the latter indistinct ; from each of the punctures 

 springs a very short subdepressed scale-like hair ; humeral callus 

 prominent ; halfway between the callus and suture are two short 

 longitudinal ridges, connected at their lower end by a third, 

 transverse ; interspaces on the outer disk and towards the 

 apex costate ; on the anterior two-thirds of the outer disk the 

 general surface is transversely rugulose ; an ill-defined patch at 

 the base, covering the two short longitudinal ridges, another on 

 the middle disk, together with the apices of some of the costae, 

 obscure metallic-purple. Pleura; densely clothed with white 

 pubescence.

sertim anticis) modice inflatis, elongato-ovatis, basi et apice 



angustatis, subtus spina brevi armatis ; t'lb'iis posticis quatuor

Chrysopida is easily separated from its allies by the elongated 



head and subglobular thorax ; in colouring it closely resembles 



certain genera of Curculionidce peculiar to the Malay Archipe- 



lago.
