274 Phytophaga Malayana. 



obliquely elevate-strigose; epistome pentagonal, coarsely and closely 

 rugose-punctate at its apex, middle of the apical surface fur- 

 nished with a broad slightly-raised, impunctate, longitudinal ridge, 

 lower two-thirds of the disk more finely and less closely punc- 

 tured ; labrum and jaws black. Thorax nearly three times as broad 

 as long, sides regularly rounded, slightly but distinctly converging 

 in front; surface less coarsely and less closely punctured than in 

 the preceding species ; interspaces on the sides irregularly wrinkled. 

 Elytra slightly broader than the thorax, subquadrate-oblong, 

 convex, broadly but slightly excavated below the humeral callus, 

 somewhat strongly punctured, punctures irregularly arranged in 

 longitudinal striae ; interspaces near the suture thickened and sub- 

 costate at the apex, those on the outer disk behind the shoulder 

 thickened, elevate-reticulate.

Head deeply punctured, interspaces thickened, irregularly 

 elevate-reticulate ; front elevate-strigose on either side, epistome 

 scarcely longer than broad, sides nearly straight and parallel, 

 upper portion of the surface very coarsely rugose, raised in the 

 middle into a short oblong ridge or tubercle. Thorax nearly 

 three times as broad as long, sides rounded, converging in front, 

 upper surface transversely convex, sides obliquely deflexed in 

 front, closely punctured; disk on either side just in front of the 

 base distinctly excavated. Elytra rather broader than the thorax, 

 subquadrate-oblong, convex, broadly excavated below the humeral 

 callus; strongly punctured, striae irregularly arranged in longi- 

 tudinal rows, interspaces below the shoulder coarsely elevate- 

 reticulate.
