much less ronnded at the sides (text-tig. 4), and the elytra are distinctly longer 

 than iu //. iM/ictM. On the pronotura there is a fairly large space at each side of 

 the median line devoid of bristles. The bristles of the tibiae are also less anmerous 

 and shorter than in IJ. indicus, and more or less arranged in rows. All the tibiae 

 are more distinctly incurved on the inner side before the apex in the region where 

 the hind-tibia bears a distinct pseudo-joint (text-fig. 3). The mid-tibia has one 

 thick obtuse apical spine ou the under side and the hiud-tibia two. The tirst tarsal 

 segment bears veutrally before the apex a thin bristle and a short and stout spine 

 (text-fig. 3). The proportional lengths of the femora and tibiae are as follows : 



c?. 47 : 48— 49 : 60— .52 : 62. 



The <S organ of cojiulation extends on to the apex of the seventh sternite, 

 while the groove in whicli it is situated reaches to about the centre of the segment. 

 The tip of the organ is pointed and, in a rest position, slightly curved anad.
