138 MARTIN JACOBY 



Mas. The third joint of the antennae in shape of a long per- 

 pendicular tooth, the following two joints dilated. 



Length 3 lines. 



Head finely longitudinally strigose at the vertex, the latter 

 with a deep fovea at each side, bounded by strongly raised per- 

 pendicular ridges , antennae flavous, the first joint davate , the 

 second extremely small, the third in shape of a long pointed 

 perpendicular tooth, the following two joints broadly dilated, 

 acutely pointed at their anterior angle below, the following 

 joints elongate, nearly equal, thorax twice as broad as long, 

 flavous or fulvous , the transverse sulcus straight , the surface 

 with a few fine punctures, scutellum fulvous, elytra with a 

 slight depression below the base at the suture, black, finely and 

 rather closely punctured, last abdominal segment with the middle 

 lobe subquadrate, flat. 



Hab. Sipora, also Tenasserim (coll. Jacoby). 



This is one of the smaller species belonging to the group of 

 A. palliata,, Jac. , A. orientalis , Hornst. and A. frontalis 3 Baly, 

 which all have the same coloration and dilated basal joints of the 

 antennae, but in the present insect the third joint of these organs 

 differs from any other in its shape, which is that of pointed tooth, 

 directed downwards, and which will at once help in the recognition 

 of the species. A specimen from Tenasserim in my collection differs 

 in having nearly black legs and breast but in no other way. 



18. Aulacophora apicipes, sp. n. — Fulvous or flavous, elytra 

 black semiopaque, finely and closely punctured, legs flavous, the 

 apex of the tibiae and the tarsi more or less black. 



Mas. The median lobe of the last abdominal segment slightly 

 sulcate. 



Length 3 lines. 



Head impunctate, flavous, the labrum edged with piceous, 

 antennae flavous, extending to two-thirds the length of the body 

 the third joint longer than the fourth , thorax with the trans- 

 verse sulcus straight, the space near the anterior angles distinctly 

 punctured, sides nearly straight, scutellum flavous, elytra with- 

 out basal depression, very finely and closely punctured.
