and Species of Hisjjidce. 379 



Antennje not quite half the length of the body, 

 slender, filiform. Thorax nearly twice as broad as long, 

 sides distinctly margined, nearly straight and slightly 

 diverging from the base to beyond the middle, then 

 broadly rounded to the apex, outer edge finely serrate ; 

 disc convex, excavated on the sides, base impressed with 

 a broad semilunate sulcation ; scattered irregularly over 

 the disc are some large deeply impressed punctures. 

 Elytra much broader at the base than the thorax, 

 shoulders rotundate-ampliate, sides converging thence 

 towards the apex, the apex itself regularly rounded ; upper 

 surface of each elytron with three raised longitudinal 

 costEe ; their interspaces each with a double row of punc- 

 tures ; the interstices between the punctures are also 

 thickened, and form irregular transverse costae ; on the 

 surface of the disc are a number of large irregular exca- 

 vations, which obliterate not only the costee, but to 

 a great extent the punctures themselves; lateral border 

 moderately dilated at the shoulders, gradually narrowed 

 towards the apex of the elytra, outer border very finely 

 serrulate, the serrations being only visible under a lens. 



Genus Gonophoka, Baly. 

 (Sp. 3a.) Gonophora nigriceps. 



Elongata, subparallela, nigra, nitida ; antennis robustis, 

 subfusiformibus ; femoribus anticis quatuor basi fa- 

 cieique macula pallide fulvis, thorace dorso elytrisque 

 rufo-fulvis, illo vitta elevata interrupta lateribusque ante 

 medium nigris ; elytris utrisque tricostatis, interspatiis 

 profunde biseriatim punctatis, margine laterali modice 

 dilatato, medio vix ampliato. 



Long. 5-6 lin. 



Hab . — Penang . 



Very close to Gonophora Saundersii, separated from 

 that species by the narrower and more parallel lateral 

 margin of the elytra, and also by the interspaces on the 

 disc having each (the middle one at the base excepted) 

 a double row of punctures. 



(Sp. 5a.) Gonophora apicipennis. 



Elongata, postice vix ampliata, dorso subdepressa, fulva, 

 subnitida, subtus nitida; oculis, antennis, metathorace.
