NEW PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA 85 
Hab. Borneo (coll. Jacoby). Sarawak (Doria and Beccari). Su- 
matra, Kaju Tanam (Beccari). | 
Although the single specimen from Sumatra differs in the 
colour of the antennae which have the 3 basal and the 3 ter- 
minal joints fulvous only, the rest being black as well as the 
tibiae and tarsi, I cannot discover sufficient other characters of 
distinction for a separation of this specimen from those of Bor- 
neo. The comparatively small size and colour of this species 
will assist in its recognition. 
Syoplia, n. gen. 
Body elongate; eyes entire; palpi filiform; antennae slender, 
filiform, the first joint very long, the second short, the third 
and fourth joints as long as the first, the following gradually 
shortened; palpi filiform; thorax transverse, the sides slightly 
rounded, surface without transverse depression; elytra elongate 
deeply punctate-striate , the interstices clothed with long and 
shorter pubescence, their epipleurae narrow, indistinct below the 
middle; legs slender, tibiae mucronate; the first joint of the 
posterior tarsi much longer than the three following joints 
together; claws appendiculate ; anterior coxal cavities open. 
The open coxal cavities, mucronate tibiae and the long first 
joint of the posterior tarsi places Syoplia in Chapuis’ 13. group, 
the Luperinae; from all the genera contained in this group, 
the punctate-striate and pubescent elytra of Syoplia in connection 
with the narrow elongate general shape, separates the present 
genus; the different structure of the antennae and the pube- 
scent elytra distinguish Syoplia from Neodrana. 
64. Syoplia javanensis, n. sp. 
Entirely testaceous; head and thorax impunctate; elytra 
deeply punctate-striate, pubescent, the interstices slightly convex. 
Length 21/, lines. 
Head slightly longer than broad, impunctate; eyes prominent;
