sparsely setose on edges. Prothorax convex, as wide as head, 

 longer than broad (4-6x4 mm.), lightly angustate to base; sides 

 parallel, lightly sinuate just before base; anterior margin trun- 

 cate, with angles feebly advanced; base rounded; basal angles 

 obtuse; border narrow, thicker and more raised on base; marginal 

 channel narrow, 3-punctate (one puncture at posterior angle, and 

 two close together about anterior fourth), median line fine. 

 Elytra a shade wider than prothorax (9 x 4-1 5mm.), convex, lightly 

 rounded on sides, a little narrowed to base, widest just behind 

 middle; base subemarginate, strongly and abruptly declivous; 

 lateral border thick and convex posteriorly, narrow, upturned and 

 rounded at humeral angles; lateral row of umbilicate punctures 

 closely set on basal third, wider apart posteriorly; a wide oblique 

 punctate impression on each side near base. Ventral segments 

 3-6 with two setigerous punctures on each side. Legs light; 

 anterior tibise with apex strongly produced; intermediate tibiae 

 with a short external spur-like projection at apex; posterior coxae 

 and trochanters without setigerous punctures. Length 18,

Hab. — Q. : Cooktown (Coll. French; unique, $). 



It belongs to the section of the genus in which the front is 

 without strong sulci between the eyes {Teratidium, sensu Bates). 

 Its general resemblance is to T. perlongum, SI., from which it 

 differs by smaller size; eyes less prominent, postocular protu- 

 berances larger and rising more sharplyfrom head; elytra narrowed 

 to base, the ridge dividing the basal depressions from the base 

 narrower and less elevated.
