4:4:4: REVISION OF THE GENUS HETERONYX. 



angles well marked but obtuse, its base (from a certain point of 

 view) distinctly bisinuate and moderately lobed hind ward. The 

 elytra have little or no indication of striation, — at most some 

 semblance of a sutural stria, — their transverse wrinkling is fairly 

 defined from some points of view, their lateral fringe normal, their 

 apical membrane obsolete. The hind coxas are decidedly shorter 

 than the metasternum and decidedly longer than the 2nd ventral 

 segment; the puncturation of both these is at the sides strong but 

 not close, being on the latter very sparing towards the middle, 

 and the former having a small Isevigate antero-internal space. 

 The ventral segments are punctured at the sides rather finely and 

 closely, in the middle more coarsely and sparsely, the punctures 

 there tending to a linear transverse arrangement. The ventral 

 series consist of fine long hairs and are not very conspicuous. 

 The hind femora are evidently wider than the intermediate, their 

 inner apical angle much rounded and but little prominent. The 

 three external teeth of the anterior tibise are thick and blunt, the 

 uppermost about half as large as the 2nd. The apical piece of 

 the hind claws is nearly half as large as the basal piece and not 

 much larger than the produced apex of the latter.
