Plate VII., Figs. 2-2a. 



Antennae stout. Eyes small, globose. Vertex nearly twice 

 as wide as one of the eyes, truncato-convex, a little advanced; 

 niid-carina small, little produced. Facial costa rather widely 

 sulcata, sides subparallel, in profile advanced before the eyes, 

 smoothly convex opposite the points of insertion of the anten- 

 nae, slightly concave above them. Pronotum truncate anteri- 

 orly, subulate behind, granose-scabrous, convex on the 

 shoulders in both sections; the mid-carina elevated and sub- 

 compressed anteriorly, slightly depressed and scarcely distinct 

 on the shoulders, distinct but not elevated behind them. 

 Wings caudate, passing the hind process. Elytra oblong, 

 rounded or subacuminate at the tip. Femora rather slender; 

 mid-femora with both margins gently sinuate; pulvilli of 

 hind tarsi flat or rounded below, the second and third etjual.

A pair in Professor Bruner's collection and a female 

 obtained by Mr. Godman. This is a peculiar species, bearing 

 considerable resemblance to Pai-atcttix rugosiis, but distin- 

 guished from it by the wider and somewhat advanced vertex, 

 the smaller ej'es, stouter antennrc, less robust form, and une.x- 

 panded middle femora of the male. (Morse.)
