NEW PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA 107 
covered with pale hairs, obsoletely foveolate at the sides; scu- 
tellum very broad, its apex broadly rounded; elytra parallel 
very finely granulate-punctate, closely covered with thin pale 
pubescence and marked with numerous and irregularly distri- 
buted round and small fuscous spots; tibiae unarmed; claws 
bifid; breast and abdomen obscure fuscous. 
Hab. Sumatra, Mt. Singalang (Beccari). A single specimen. 
This species which seems to me to belong to the present 
genus is at once distinguished by the curious pale colour of its 
upper surface and the numerous small spots of the elytra, in 
the absence of more specimens I am unable to say whether the 
species is subject to variation in colour.
