5O ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Feb., 'l/ 



clypeus usually glabrous or with a few obsolete rngulae laterally; 

 labrum almost truncate to feebly lobed at middle, the angles being 

 sub-prominent and narrowly rounded ; mouth parts nigropiceous ; an- 

 tennae reaching beyond the prothoracic base and moderate in stout- 

 ness. 



Pronotum a little wider than long, sides feebly arcuate anteriorly, 

 thence almost straight and converging to the base, bead fine and not 

 quite entire at base, not interrupting the sub-marginal groove, the 

 propleura visible posteriorly when viewed from above ; disc convex, 

 feebly so in the central area, strongly so laterally and apically, less so 

 before the basal angles, sub-apical and sub-basal transverse impres- 

 sions distinct, median longitudinal line distinct and more or less im- 

 pressed and quite obsolete beyond the transverse impressions, surface 

 vermiculately rugulose, rugulae in the apical area somewhat longi- 

 tudinal and somewhat obsolete ;' apex transverse ; base transverse and 

 very feebly bisinuate. 



Propleura feebly and more or less transversely rugulose. Lateral 

 plates of the prosternum obsoletely rugulose, the rugulae crinkly and 

 transverse. Prosternum glabrous. 



Elytra oval, to slightly oblong oval, about one-third longer than 

 wide, sides evenly arcuate and sub-parallel in the middle third ; humeri 

 not angulate, broadly rounded or obsolete; sides more or less oblique 

 in apical third and arcuately converging to the obtusely rounded apex, 

 marginal bead rather fine ; disc moderately convex, irregularly punctu- 

 ate, punctures moderate and sub-equal throughout, well separated and 

 equally distributed ; nine to eleven setigerous punctures more or less 

 impressed and visible to the naked eye, surface microscopically reticu- 

 late. 



Epipleura glabrous at base, elsewhere obsoletely crinkled. 



Mcso- and metastcrna glabrous shining. Mesothoracic side plates 

 obsoletely rugulo-strigulose ; metathoracic side plates more or less 

 longitudinally strigulo-rugulose. 



Pemora sparsely and feebly sculptured. 



Abdominal surface glabrous and shining. 



Male. (Fig. i.) Fifth ventral segment deeply emarginate at middle, 

 sinus evenly rounded at the bottom, as wide as deep, depth equal to 

 about one-third of the segment, lateral lobes evenly rounded from 

 within and at apex. First three joints of the metatarsi equal to the 

 length of a metafemur. In the type (Fig. i) the humeri are inter- 

 mediate between those of Fig. 3 and Fig. 2(9 Type). 



Female. (Fig. 2) Fifth ventral segment ogival at apex sides quite 

 straight and converging to form the very narrowly rounded apex.
