General color wax yellow, becoming gamboge yellow on the teg- 

 mina and mngs, head inclined toward buff; eyes clay color; cephahc 

 coxse non-maculate ; cephalic femora with three points of seal brown 

 on the internal face, one decidedly proximal, one larger one imme- 

 diately distad of the unguinal groove and one smaller one imme- 

 diately proximad of the same, larger spines on the internal margin 

 of the caudal femora lined on the internal margin and spotted at the 

 internal base with seal brown, all the femoral and tibial spines tipped 

 more or less broadly with the same color.

Genus PANURGICA Karsch. 



PANURGICA LEBERIANA, new species. 



Type.— Male', Mount Coffee, Liberia. (G. P. GoU.) [Cat No. 14607, 

 U.S.N.M.] 



Differing from P. duplex Karsch as figured by Werner ^ in having 

 the cephahc spine shorter, the pronotum more elongate and decidedly 

 obhque truncate lateral instead of subrectangulate and in the differ- 

 ent shape of the lateral pronotal margin when seen from the side. 



Size medium; form as usual in this genus. Head with the greatest 

 depth contained one and two-fifths times in the greatest w"idth ; occip- 

 ital fine with the portion between the sulci subtruncate, juxta-ocular 

 lobes low, rotundato-rectangulate, the angle nearer the eye than the 

 sulcus, subtrigonal when viewed from the side; cephahc spine trigo- 

 nal, depressed, distal portion sHghtly curved dorsad, when viewed 

 from the dorsum the apex of the spine not surpassing the oceUi; 

 ocelU large, subcontiguous, placed in a flattened triangle; facial 

 shield transverse, the greatest depth about one and one-half times 

 in the greatest width, dorsal margin with a marked median arcuate 

 emargination, which is flanked laterad by low trigonal tubercles, the 

 margin obhquely dechvent laterad, ventral margin broadly concave, 

 lateral margins parallel, straight, surface of plate impressed with a 

 pair of lateral carinse converging ventrad ; clypeus subproduced dorso-
