ART. 22 NEW CEBAMBYCID BEETLES — FISHER 25 



pubescence, which is denser in some places. Scutellum broadly 

 triangular, curvilinear, and rather densely clothed with recumbent, 

 gray pubescence. 



Elytra three and one-half times as long as pronotum, and at base 

 slightly wider than pronotum at middle; humeral angles broadly 

 rounded; sides vaguely narrowed from base to the tips, which are 

 separately, broadly truncate, bispinose, with the outer spine much 

 longer than the inner one ; surface rather densely, coarsely punctate, 

 the punctures becoming smaller toward the apices, and irregularly 

 clothed with long, recumbent, gray pubescence, which does not con- 

 ceal the surface. 



Abdomen beneath finely, sparsely punctate at sides, smooth and 

 nearly glabrous at middle, densely clothed at the sides with long, 

 recumbent, white pubescence, with a few long, erect hairs intermixed ; 

 last segment broadly rounded at apex. Prosternum very coarsely, 

 confluently punctate, sparsely clothed with inconspicuous, erect hairs, 

 except on the prosternal process and along anterior margin, where 

 the surface is smooth and nearly glabrous ; prosternal process rather 

 narrow, slightly expanded toward apex, which is subtruncate, and 

 abruptly declivous. Mesosternum broad, flat, and strongly decli- 

 vous in front. Legs rather densely, irregularly clothed with long, 

 recumbent and erect, grayish hairs, causing the surface to have a 

 mottled appearance; femora robust, slightly clavate toward apices, 

 and the middle and posterior pairs bispinose at apices, with the 

 inner spine considerably longer than the outer one. 



Length, 15-16 mm. ; width, 3.6^ mm.
