shorter than broad, strongly constricted at the base, and deepl}- transversely 

 bisulcate in front. Elytra with an ill-defined straight and transverse blackish baud 

 behind the base, and with some very small yellowish grey spots in and behind the 

 middle, these spots almost forming a postmedian nndnlate transverse streak. 

 Under surface uniformly grey : third and fourth joints of the tarsi and the tip of 

 the four posterior tibiae dark brown.

The slender scape of the antennae, the straight cheeks not beinj; dilated, and 

 the truncate lateral teeth of the ])rothoriix are very remarkable in this species.

The jieculiar shape of the head is the principal character which distinguishes 

 this genus from Acmocei-a.

Long. lOi mm., elytr. 6^, kit. 4^. 



Head finely granulated, with a transverse impression behind the antenual 

 tubercles ; the longitudinal impressed line more or less obsolete. Antennae 

 half as long again as the body in the irude, a little longer than the body in the 

 female ; ashy grey, with the tip of the third and fourth joints and the whole of 

 the fifth, seventh, ninth, and eleventh less pubescent and almost black. Scutellum 

 nearly as long as broad, rounded at the apex. Elytra convex, chiefly at the base, 

 narrowed towards the apex, esijecially in the male; coarsely and somewhat rugoselx 

 punctured, with the punctures unequal in size ; shoulders not produced ; a broad 

 and rather straight band in front of the middle tawny ; apex spotted with gre\'. 

 Under surface uniformly ashy grey : extreme tiji of the tibiae clothed with a black 

 pubescence. 



Hab. Kuilu (A. Mocquerys, l,s92). 



Resembling Eumimetes harohli Qued. in size as well as in colour. 



Latisternum gen. uov. (Acmoceriuortim). 



?. Fronte magna, genis dilatatis, oculis divisis ; anteunarum scapo elongato ; 

 prothorace dorso tritubercuhito, dente laterali valido armato ; elytris basi latis, 

 cnneatis ; processibus prosteruali et mesosternali latissimis, depressis : tihiis sine 

 carinis, intermediis apicem versus profunde incisis. 



Differs from Acmocera especially in the entirely divided eyes, in the 1)riPiid and 

 flattened process of the pro- and niesosternum, and in the tibiae being devoid of a 

 carina nsuallv met with in other irenera of " Acmocerides."
