projection on each side of middle one ; eyes not prominent ; two 

 supra-or))ital punctures on each side. Mandibles long and strong. 

 Mentum with lobes long and narrow ; median tooth strong, 

 elongate. Palpi with last joint strongly securiform, that of 

 labial very widely so. Antennae (only seven joints remaining in 

 specimen before me) submoniliform ; second joint hardly (if at all) 

 shorter than third. Prothorax a little longer than broad (6*5 x 

 6 mm.), subcylindric, not declivous behind ; sides subparallel, 

 not narrowed in front, lightly and roundly narrowed behind ; 

 anterior margin truncate, the angles rectangular ; base wide, 

 evenly rounded ; border very narrow, not reflexed along sides, 

 except very lightly at the place of the posterior angles, narrower 

 behind these, causing a slight sinuosity before the base, well 

 marked and without any sinuosity on base ; marginal channel 

 very narrow and lightly marked ; median line strongly impressed, 

 crossed by fine striolse ; a light transvei-se impression a little 

 before the base ; two marginal punctures on each side, the 

 anterior considerably behind the anterior angle ; infiexed lateral 

 margin narrow, not projecting from episterna. Elytra elongate 

 (13*5 X 6'25mm.), subcylindric; the disc a little depressed near 

 suture ; sides subparallel, a little narrowed to shoulders, very 

 lightly rounded ; apex broadly rounded, obsoletely sinuate on 

 each side near suture, causing the tip of the elytra to project 

 obtusely a little ; base broadly emarginate, almost vertical, with- 

 out punctures; shoulders prominent, with a strong erect conical 

 projection ; margin very narrow ; border finely reflexed ; a row of 

 punctures along margin as in iV. parvicejys ; five or six widely- 

 placed, strongly-impressed punctures extending in a row down 

 middle of each elytron from shoulder to apex, the apical two or 

 three of these punctures double; two or three other widely-placed, 

 strong punctures on apical part of each elytron, between the 

 middle row and the margin ; suture linear, deeply impressed, 

 inflexed margin very narrow, as in JV. dongatum, Macl. Proster- 

 num flat between the coxte, hardly impressed ; a lightly marked 

 divergent process on each side of base near peduncle. Anterior 

 femora thick, not channelled below, not greatly arcuate on
