Loug. 17 mm., elytr. 12, lat. 6^. 



Similar in colour and shape to Etunimetcs sparsa (King.), but it is a true Frea, 

 and closely allied to F. maculicornis (T homs.). Narrower and less convex than 

 F. inacidicornis (Thoms.). Head with two small Ijlack spots in the centre <jf the 

 front, and with two larger ones on the vertex. Lateral teeth of the prothorax rela- 

 tively larger, the punctuation of the elytra more conspicuous, and their mai-kings 

 smaller and denser, particularly at the base, than in F. macalicornis. The apex of 

 the mesosteraal process narrower, and the femora uniformly pubescent.

Antennal joints black at the tip, six basal ones densely fringed underneath with

 broader than loug. Elytra narrowed and declivous from the base to the ti]), chiefly 

 in the male; their punctuation somewhat crowded, and rather coarse at the base. 

 Anterior legs of the male elongate, the anterior tibiae curved, and the third joints 

 aud the under surface of all the tarsi blackish ; apices of the tibiae also black, with 

 the extreme tip clothed with fulvous hiiirs like the apices of the tibiae and the under- 

 side of the tarsi iu the female. Ultimate abdominal segment of the»;a/e emarginate,
