9-10 globose; the prothorax is broadest in front, and from there 

 the sides are oblique, the transverse furrow is arcuate, deep, with 

 the median fovea very small; the 4th joint of the palpi is hardly 

 pedunculate, a little longer than the first and second together, 

 thick, fusiform, more or less flagelliform when viewed from the 

 side; the elytra are rather short. In the g the metasternum is 

 declivous in the middle behind, and the 2nd ventral segment has 

 a superficial depression; the femora are stout.

This species seems to be common.

This species is very much like the preceding one, with the 

 abdomen dark piceous, but the body is much more elongate; the 

 prothorax is more ovate ; the elytra much more elongate ; the 

 antennae are longer, more slender, with all the joints a little 

 longer than broad ; the last joint of the palpi has no trace of 

 basal peduncle, it is ovate-oblong and hardly longer than the first 

 and second joints together. 



g. Anterior trochanters angularly dilated and compressed ; 

 metasternum strongly and transversely impressed on the posterior 

 part; the femora are not much inflated. 



It is certainly a very different species. 



Gawler, S. A.; one specimen only, the type of Dr. Schaufuss.
