SCOLECOBROTUS VALIDUS, sp.nOV. 



Ferrugineut?, totus pube sat densa flava vebtitus ; prothorace 

 quam latiori vix longiori ; elytris antice minus crasse punc- 

 tulatis ; antennis (maris ?) quam corpus paullo longioribus, 

 articulis 5-10 sat compressis hand serratis intus ad apicem 

 lobatis ; cetera fere ut aS'. Westiooodi, Hope.

 Entirely of a ferruginous colour, the legs and abdomen some- 

 what paler, the upper and under surfaces very evenly and closely 

 clothed with yellowish pubescence, which almost conceals the 

 sculpture. The antennae are almost exactly like those of a male 

 S. Westwoodi, but without any of the serration of that species 

 except the apical lobe-like process. Compared with ^S*. Westivoodi, 

 the build of the whole insect is a little more robust, the head 

 a little less produced in front, the prothorax considerably less 

 elongate and (as far as can be seen under the pubescence) less 

 uneven, and the anterior portion of the elytra evidently less 

 strongly rugulose. I have no doubt the specimen described is a 

 male, but if it were a female, its antennae a little longer than the 

 body would at once distinguish it from the same sex of S. West- 

 vjoodi. The twelfth joint of the antennae is shorter than in the 

 male, and about as long as in the female, of *S'. Westwoodi.
