Phytophagous Coleoptera from the East. 107 



GALEEUCIDiE. 



XeNODA BASALIS, D. Sp. 



Fulvous, finely pubescent above, head impunctate, antennae black, the 

 apical joints yellowish white ; thorax short, impunctate ; elyra transversely 

 rugose and punctured, finely pubescent, black, the base falvous ; abdomen 

 blackish. 



^. Antennae with the third to the tenth joint greatly swollen and 

 widened, the apical joint whitish, thin ; elytra entirely black. 



5 . Antennae filiform, the intermediate joints very slightly dilated, the 

 last two joints whitish. 



Length, 1^ line. 



Head broad, the vertex convex, impunctate, falvous, the frontal eleva- 

 tions strongly raised, trigonate ; palpi robust, the penultimate joint incrassate ; 

 antennae extending to about the middle of the elytra, clothed with longish 

 hairs, black, the second joint very short, the third and following joints 

 strongly widened ; thorax more than twice as broad as long, the sides nearly 

 straight, the angles obtuse, the disc transversely and broadly sulcate, 

 impunctate ; scutellum fulvous ; elytra broader at the base than the thorax, 

 slightly widened posteriorly, the surface uneven and rugose, the interstices 

 finely punctured and clothed with long greyish hairs, black, with a slight 

 violaceous gloss, the base narrowly fulvous, the sides perpendicularly 

 deflexed, forming a distinct edge or costa from the shoulder to the apex ; 

 under side and legs fulvous, the latter slender, clothed with yellowish hairs. 



Hab. Sumatra. (My collection.) 



The pubescence of the elytra, although long, is thin, and 

 does not obscure the gloss ; the fulvous portion does not occupy 

 one-third of their length. I refer to this species (which is only 

 half the size of the two others known) a single male specimen, 

 contained in my collection, which has the antennse structured as 

 given above, but has entirely black elytra. All the other speci- 

 mens are females, in which the base of the elytra is fulvous. 

 X. hirtipennis, Jac, is much larger and is of different coloration, 

 and possesses antennae of different construction. 



PSEUDOCOPHORA INOENATA, U. Sp. 

 Pale fulvous, the four posterior legs and the breast and abdomen black ; 

 antennae pale flavous ; thorax impunctate ; elytra closely and finely 

 punctured. 



^. Elytra with a conical tubercle at the base, bounded by a dark 

 coloured fovea ; the last abdominal segment trilobate, the medial lobe 

 plane. 



2 . Elytra without tubercles or fovea, the last abdominal segment simple. 

 Length, 2-g- hnes. 



Hab. Perak. (My collection.) 



Closely allied to P. uniplagiata, Jac, ambusta, Erichs., and 

 brunnea, Baly, but differing in the colour of the elytra, which are 

 of uniform pale fulvous, with the exception of the interior of the 

 fovea, which is black. From P. ambusta, the plane — not concave 

 — last abdominal segment, and the conical elytral tubercles, dis- 

 tinguish the present insect ; the entirely fulvous elytra, smaller 

 size, and the different anal segment in the female, separate it 

 from P. brunnea; the sutural margin below the fovea of the
