Plate III., Fig. 4. 



Eggs Plate XL, Figs. 3-33. 



Bod\- of moderate size, rather slender, granulate. Vertex 

 viewed from above about equal in width to one of the eyes, a 

 little advanced beyond their anterior margin; the front mar- 

 gin of vertex convex, lateral margins a little sinuate, widened 

 posteriorly, on either side of the median carina longitudinally 

 a little fossulate, deeper between the middle of the eyes; 

 median carina of vertex distinct anteriorly projecting as a 

 small tooth at the middle of the front margin, either side very 

 little sulcate, occiput naked behind the eyes; crown of head 

 viewed in profile not at all elevated above the eyes. Frontal 

 costa in profile moderately advanced beyond the eyes, be- 

 tween the eyes lightly sinuate, between the antennae a little 

 protuberant, at the junction with the median carina of the 

 vertex angulate, the apex rounded, viewed in front the rami 

 very little diverging, being a little wider at the median ocellus. 

 Eyes rather small. Antennae moderately stout. Pronotum 

 anteriorly truncate, posteriorly subulate, extended beyond 

 the posterior femora, but not so far as the wings; dorsum 

 between the shoulders tectiform, rather narrow, humeral 

 angles widely obtuse angulate; median carina of pronotum 

 distinct, percurrent nearly horizontal, in [jrofile behind the 

 anterior margin scarcely compresso-elevated, between the 

 shoulders very little elevated, posteriorly scarcely concave; 

 lateral lobes of pronotum posteriorly bisinuate; the superior 

 lateral sinus quite deep, nearly as deep as the inferior sinus; 

 the median lateral lobule obtuse angulate, the posterior inferior 

 angle of the lateral lobes obtuse at the apex, very little 

 rounded below and scarcely distended laterally; scapular area 

 narrow, widened a little posteriorly over the apical portion of 

 the elytra. Elytra rather elongate, subacuminate towards the 

 apex; wings' fully developed, extended a little beyond the 

 pronotal process. Femoral margins entire or indistinctly sinu- 

 ate at the lower margins of the first and second femora; mid-
