340 Lovyicornia Malayana. 



The specimen from Waigiou has the head very broad, the 

 central ridge of the prothorax slightly gibbous, the punctures on 

 the elytra very much hidden by the pubescence, and the antennae 

 decidedly stouter ; at best, however, it would be but a doubtful 

 species.

Pale fulvo-testaceous, covered with a dense but somewhat un-

 greyish; head and prothorax impunctate ; scutellum semicircular; 

 elytra obscurely seriate-punctate, the apices blackish ; body be-

In colour this species resembles 5. sedata from Siam, but has 

 slenderer and longer antennae, not entirely black, the head and 

 prothorax impunctate, and the punctures on the elytra less 

 manifest.
