HARPALIN/E 51 



emarginate medially at tip, the frontal impressions rather large, 

 deeply impressed and isolated. The prothorax is nearly as in 

 Daptus and Cratacanthus and the elytra are of the usual Har- 

 palid type; there is a single puncture on the second stria behind 

 the middle. The legs are rather short and notably stout, the 

 femora all rather distinctly swollen, the tibiae gradually dilated 

 distally, the anterior serrulate externally, with a small emargination 

 just before a singular oblique concave, lamelliform apical extension, 

 the plate densely fimbriate with short spinuliform setae; the terminal 

 spur of the anterior is single and feebly swollen at each side near 

 the base, those of the intermediate and posterior two in number, 

 long and very slender on the former and very stout on the latter. 

 The anterior tarsi of the male are rather short and chick, with mod- 

 erately dilated joints, the basal nearly as long as the next two but 

 not inflated, spinose beneath and devoid of squamae; joints 2-4 

 transverse and densely clothed with confused squamules, the 

 second in apical half only, the intermediate much longer and more 

 filiform than the anterior or posterior, both the latter and inter- 

 mediate completely devoid of squamules. The tarsi of the female 

 are nearly as in the male but rather less dilated throughout and 

 especially the anterior, all devoid of squamules. The tarsal claws 

 are long, divaricate, extremely slender and evenly arcuate. The 

 single species may be known as follows: 



Stout, oblong-oval, very convex, not very shining, pale tawny-yellow in 

 color, the elytra each broadly and very indefinitely clouded with 

 darker brown discally, the pronotum clouded at apex, except at the 

 sides, and thence broadly posteriorly to behind the middle; head 

 (c? 1 ) three-fourths as wide as the prothorax or four-fifths (9 ), the 

 prothorax relatively smaller in the latter sex; antennae extending 

 barely to the middle of the prothorax, which is nearly one-half wider 

 than long, the sides rounded anteriorly, feebly converging and 

 slightly sinuate thence to the hind angles, which are but little more 

 than right and slightly blunt at tip, the lateral gutter rather broad 

 throughout; base transverse, strongly margined, the apex sinuato- 

 truncate; surface deplanate from the large but vague foveae to the 

 hind angles and impunctate; elytra much wider than the prothorax, 

 oblong-oval, with arcuate sides and obtusely rounded apex, two- 

 fifths longer than wide, the sides becoming straight and oblique near 

 the base; sinus narrow but rather deep; surface coarsely, deeply 

 striate, the scutellar stria deep and long, uniting with the first, which 

 becomes therefore symmetrically bifurcate at base, the two lateral 

 striae on the flanks abruptly very fine and feeble, the marginal foveae
