280 Phytophaga Maluyana. 



rounded at the base, obliquely converging from behind the middle 

 to the apex, slightly excavated near the lateral border, finely 

 variolose-punctate. Elytra broader than the thorax, sides below 

 the base subparallel, apex broadly rounded ; surface finely but 

 regularly punctate-striate, lateral margin moderately dilated, 

 deeply punctured.

 Rotundato-ovata, sat valde convexa, fulva, nitida, antennis 

 apice nigris ; thorace utrinque intra marginem excavato, te-

 Long. 4| — 5 lin. 

 Hab. New Guinea (Dorey). 



Head very finely and indistinctly punctured. Thorax nearly 

 four times as broad as long, sides rounded at the base, thence 

 obliquely converging to the apex, apical angle subacute; surface 

 finely punctured, irregularly excavated on either side within the 

 lateral border, surface of the excavations faintly wrinkled. Elytra 

 broader than the thorax, sides rounded, apex broadly rounded ; 

 surface strongly punctate-striate, lateral margin somewhat broadly 

 dilated, deeply punctured; nearly the whole back of the elytra is 

 covered by a large triangular patch, which, stretching at its base 

 from shoulder to shoulder, gradually narrows and terminates in 

 an acute point on the suture at a short distance from the apex. 



4. Paropsis 5-maculata, n. sp. 

 Late ovata, sat valde convexa, fulva, nitida ; thorace utrinque 

 excavato, disco tenuiter, ad latera rude punctato ; elytris 

 regulariter punctato-striatis, plaga communi trigonata basali, 

 macula oblonga humerali, plagaque magna pone medium, 

 nigris. 

 Long. 3 lin. 

 Hab. Batchian. 



Head finely punctured. Thorax nearly four times as broad as 

 long, sides rounded, obliquely converging from behind the middle 

 to the apex, anterior angle subacute ; surface excavated and 

 coarsely punctured on the sides, finely and less closely punctured 

 on the disk. Elytra scarcely broader at the base than the thorax, 

 sides oval, apex broadly rounded, surface regularly and somewhat 

 deeply punctate-striate; lateral border moderately dilated, deeply 

 punctured.
