Differs fi'om the Chevrolati-groui) in having a scutellura, apex 

 of prothorax not bifurcate, and in the large posterior tubercle. 

 Prothorax with apical tubercles compressed and rather 



elongate, apical tubercles of elytra small, four in 



number, the two inner very small. Femora not 



reaching base of tubercles of declivity, the apices 



of which (in both sexes) pass apical tubercles Westwoodi, Waterh. 



Narrower than the preceding. Apical tubercles of 



prothorax small, fasciculate, not compressed. 



Femora almost reaching apices of tubercles of 



declivity, which do not reach apices of apical 



tubercles, these latter distinct Waterhousei, Pasc. 



Almost parallel-sided. Prothorax with large scales 



extending from median tubercles to apex, where 



they are fasciculate. Most of the ely tral tubercles 



small, the two on the declivity large, not visibly 



granulate (but like the two preceding densely 



squamose) but feebly projecting outwards, femora 



scarcely reaching their bases; apical tubercles pro- 

 minent, but! not so sharp as in the preceding angustatus, n.sp.

(J. Ujiper surface moderately densely clothed with rather small 

 elongate scales; the majority are of a warm brown colour, but on 

 the apex and sides of prothorax and sides of elytra they are 

 always white (subject to the usual alteration with age, etc.); scutel- 

 lum with minute pale scales ; intermixed on head and rostrum. 

 Under surface and legs with warm brown moderately elongate 

 scales, longest and densest on tibife, on the abdomen — to the 

 naked eye — in feeble rows; rostrum squamose its entire length; 

 femora (to the naked eye) appearing ringed towards apex. 

 Ciliation moderately elongate, silvery-yellow, slightly visible with 

 head in position. 



Convex, subcylindric, strongly tuberculate. Head feebly, 

 rostrum more densely punctate; the punctures covered with scales, 

 ocular fovea minute; eyes finely granulate, small, more distinctly 

 convex than is usual in the genus; rostrum feebly curved, muzzle 

 feebly widening to apex; antennae rather elongate; scape inserted
