the head) the middle lobe appears slightly longer, and scarcely 

 narrower than the lateral lobes. The clypeus is scarcely emar- 

 ginate and scarcely margined across the front, its plane scarcely 

 distinct from that of the rest of the head, its suture very tine and 

 inconspicuous, its sides diverging from the front quite to the eyes. 

 The prothorax is about three quarters again as wide as long, its 

 base not much more than a quarter again as w^ide as its front 

 which is very slightly emarginate, and slightly advanced in the 

 middle, with very feeble angles ; the sides are rather strongly 

 rounded, the base not bisinuate but rather strongly convex hind- 

 ward all across, the hind angles quite rounded off so that the exact 

 limits of the base are not indicated. The elytra have a fairly 

 defined sutural stria and obscure traces of several other stride 

 (probably quite obsolete in some examples) ; their transverse 

 wrinkling is fairly conspicuous, their lateral fringe normal, their 

 apical membrane obsolete. The hind coxse are a little shorter than 

 the metasternum, but distinctly nearer its length than that of the 

 2nd ventral segment ; they and the metasternum are punctured 

 somewhat coarsely but neither closely nor deeply on the sides, the 

 former being quite and the latter nearly Isevigate towards the 

 middle line of the body. The ventral segments are very sparsely 

 punctured, — finely in the middle, less so at the sides ; the ventral 

 series consist of moderately stout hairs. The hind femora are 

 moderately wider than the intermediate, their inner apical angle 

 rounded and feeble. The lower two teeth of the anterior tibiae 

 are strong and sharp, the uppermost very small (very much less 

 than half as large as the intermediate), the tibial outlinejfrom its 

 base to the apex of the uppermost tooth being straight. The hind 

 claws are long, the basal piece very little longer than the apical, 

 and sharp but scarcely produced at its inner apex.
