puncture raised into a minute point, which become very small muri- 

 cate tubercles at the sides and apex ; from the punctures arise rather 

 long, erect, dark-brownish and inconspicuous hairs; the pubescence 

 absent on the infiexed sides. 



Eptplei/rrr feebly dilated beneath the humeri at base, narrow and 

 gradually narrowing to apex; surface obsoletely and muricately punc- 

 tulate. 



/Sterna more or less finely and densely, oi* obsoletely punctate and 

 rugulose. 



Pm'aplettrw quite densely punctate, the punctures more or less 

 eroded. 



Ahdonu'H finely and rather thickly punctate and rugulose, the 

 first ventral segment coarsely and densely punctate. Horizontal. 



Leffs moderate in length and rather slender; anterior femora not 

 deutate, l)ut more or less feebly sinuate; anterior spurs of the an- 

 terior tibia' a little longer and thicker than the posterior, both acute, 

 scarcely difl'ei'eut in the sexes; anterior tiirsi feebly dissiuiihir in the 

 sexes. 



Male. — Slightly narrow, ovate. Antenna^ reaching slightly l)eyoud 

 the prothoracic base. Abdomen moderately convex ; first segment 

 broadly impressed between the coxa^; second and third segments 

 sometimes obsoletely im})ressed. First joint of the anterior tarsi 

 scarcely thickened at tip beneatli, gi'oove quite entire, apico-marginal 

 tufts of dark spinules rather approximate. 



Feinale. — Ovate, somewhat robust, antenna^ reaching to the pro- 

 thoracic base. Abdomen strongly convex from side to side. First 

 joint of anterior tarsi slightly and transversely thickened at tip be- 

 neath, with short black spinules, groove entire, although nearly 

 obsolete at tip. 



Measiironeiits. — Males: Length, 12. 5-14.5 nun.; width, 4.8-5 mm. 

 Females: Length, 13-15 mm.; width, 5.5-G.5 nun. 



Geit'iiid cliaraetevs^ male. — Edeagophore of the usual form, rather 

 broadly fusiform and scarcely arched. 



Basale rather short, not twice as long as wide; surface evenly 

 convex, sides evenly and not strongly arcuate. 



Apicale triangular, evenly convex above, and more or less longi- 

 tudinally impressed at middle third; sides feebly arcuate in basal 

 half and thence feebh' sinuate to tijj; apex slightly j^roduced and 

 acute; base Avith a median rounded lobe and sinuate laterally. 



Sternite slightly transverse. Each lobe rather narrow, with the 

 external border more or less straight in basal half, thence evenly 

 arcuate to apical angle, the latter narrowly rounded; surface quite 

 strongly and rather densely punctate and setose, setce not dense and 

 moderately long; internal border more oi- less straight. Membrane 

 not setose at bottom of the sinus, the latter broad.
