what inflated in middle, apex almost straight; subsutural stria 

 fairly deep, its base commencing in a small fovea; dorsal stria 

 fine and traceable almost to middle, a small fovea at its base, 

 and another between it and the shoulder; punctures indistinct. 

 Upper surface of abdomen with third segment a trifle longer than 

 second or fourth; lower surface feebly flattened in middle, second, 

 third, and fourth segments of about equal length in middle, the 

 fifth very short. Hind trochanters obtusely dentate. Length

When viewed from the sides, the head appears to be feebly 

 tuberculate immediately above the subbasal foveee. The ninth 

 and tenth joints, although larger than the eighth, are still very 

 small, so that the club appears to consist of one joint only, and 

 that not a very large one. The subbasal impressions of the pro- 

 thorax are very different from those of the two preceding species. 



The only specimen before me appears to be a male, as its hind 

 trochanters are armed, but the metasternum is rather strongly 

 convex. The tip of the second ventral segment is minutely 

 emarginate on each side of the middle, in consequence of which 

 the middle itself appears to be slightly produced; but this 

 appearance is very indistinct from most directions.

 pubescence, and with a few longer haii's scattered about. 



Head with a deep curved impression, each end of which appears 

 as a sti'ong fovea close to each eye, middle of base obtusely 

 notched, space between antennse raised in the form of a stout, 

 slightly curved carina. Antennse with two basal joints fairly 

 large, third slightly longer than wide, ninth and tenth moderately 

 lai'ge, eleventh subovate, base truncate, apex slightly produced, 

 almost the length of three preceding joints combined. Prothorax 

 about as wide as long, widest about middle, sides strongly but 

 evenly rounded to apex but irregularly narrowed to base; with a
