2. PsEUDocoPHORA DiSTiNCTA. Late ovata, postice paullo ampliata, 

 convexa, nitida, subtus nigra, pedibus anticis piceo-fulvis ; supra 

 piceo-fulva, antennis (basi exceptis) pallide flavis, elytrorum diraidio 

 postico et {in mare) fovea subbasali nigris ; thorace profunde trans- 

 versira sulcato ; elytris subseriatim punctatis. Long. 3 lin. 



Mas. Elytris fovea magna subbasali, fundo quadridentata instructis ; 

 abdominis segmento anali trilobato, lobo intermedio piano. 



Hah. Borneo (Wallace) : a single specimen. 



Antennae slender, filiform, three fourths the length of the body,, 

 pale yellow, the two lower joints piceo-rufous. Thorax nearly 

 twice as broad as long ; sides obliquely diverging and slightly 

 sinuate from the base to beyond the middle, thence obliquely 

 converging to the apex ; disk deeply excavated transversely just 

 behind the middle, the sulcation interrupted on the median line. 

 Elytra dilated from the base towards the apex, the latter broadly 

 rounded; above convex, substriate-punctate on the anterior disk, 

 irregularly punctured behind the middle ; immediately below the 

 basilar space in the male (the only sex known to me) is a 

 large common fovea, surrounded by a thickened margin, its sur- 

 face armed with four teeth, the anterior pair acute, their apices, 

 slightly deflexed, the hinder pair flattened, truncate and abruptly 

 deflexed towards the suture. 



This species is closely allied to P. Buquefii', in addition,, 

 however, to its different coloration, it is much broader than that 

 insect.

 que fulvis aut rufo-fulvis, antennis pallide flavis, pedibus anticis 

 piceis ; thorace quam longo plus dimidio latiore, sat profunde trans- 

 versim sulcato ; elytris distincte subseriatim punctatis, punctis apicetn 

 versus confusis, fere obsoletis ; flavo-fulvis, dimidio antico apiceqpe 

 extreme nigris. Long. 3-3 j lin.
