Phytcphaga Malay ana. 261 



late-emarginate, angles of the notcli produced, acute ; jaws black ; 

 antennae half the length of the body, robust, four or five lower 

 joints fulvous, the rest piceous. Thorax more than twice as 

 broad as long ; sides rounded, converging from base to apex, more 

 quickly converging before the middle ; upper surface transversely 

 convex at the base, sides obliquely deflexed from behind the 

 middle to the apex ; the disk distinctly but subremotelv punc- 

 tured, the sides rather more closely punctured. Elytra not 

 broader than the base of the thorax, slightly narrowed towards 

 the apex, convex, distinctly punctate-striate, the punctures of 

 nearly equal size to the apex ; striae on the outer disk scarcely 

 more coarsely punctured than the others, interspaces plane. 

 Notch on the hinder pair of tibiae nearly obsolete. 



3. Nodina separata, n. sp. 

 Ovata, valde convexa, subtus nigro-picea, nitida, pedibus rufo- 

 piceis, supra caeruleo-senea, antennis fulvis, extrorsum ni- 

 gris ; thorace lateribus a basi ad medium fererectis, parallelis, 

 hinc ad apicem rotundato-convergentibus, dorso transversim 

 convexo, lateribus ante medium oblique deflexis, distincte 

 punctato ; elytris ad apicem non angustatis, subfortiter punc- 

 tato-striatis, punctis ad apicem distinctis.

Hab. Borneo (Sarawak). 



Rather more parallel and slightly less convex than the preceding 

 species ; front slightly more convex, the extreme vertex more 

 closely punctured ; sides of the thorax not converging from the 

 base, but straight and parallel on their basal half; upper surface 

 rather more strongly and closely punctured, sides less broadly de- 

 flexed in front; hinder pair of tibiae distinctly notched at the apex. 



4. Nodina viinuta, n. sp. 



Ovata, valde convexa, piceo-cuprea, supra cuprea, nitida, an- 

 tennis pedibusque fulvis ; thorace lateribus rotundatis, a basi 

 ad apicem convergentibus, dorso subfortiter punctato, lateri- 

 bus pone medium ad apicem oblique deflexis ; elytris sub- 

 fortiter punctato-striatis, striis ad latera sulcatis, interspatiis 

 elevatis.
