ART. 22 NEW CEKAMBYCID BEETLES FISHEE 57 



prosternum (except prosternal process and a spot in front of each 

 coxa) 5 basal halves of femora, anterior and middle coxae, a transverse 

 fascia on first abdominal segment, and the third and fourth abdom- 

 inal segments, pale yellow. 



Head elongate, coarsely, densely, irregularly punctate, and densely 

 clothed, especially on vertex, with fine, erect, inconspicuous pubes- 

 cence, front broadly flattened behind epistoma, deeply, longitudi- 

 nally grooved between the antennal tubercles, which are narrowly 

 separated and strongly elevated, broadly flattened on vertex, and 

 strongly constricted behind the eyes, which are large, strongly con- 

 vex, and feebly emarginate. Antenna about one-half as long as 

 body, joints cylindrical, and rather densely pubescent. 



Pronotum campanulate, wider at base than long, and twice as 

 wide at base as at apex ; sides sinuate, strongly diverging from apex 

 to posterior angles, which are prolonged and fitted closely to the 

 elytra ; disk moderately convex, and strongly, transversely depressed 

 near anterior margin; surface rather densely, feebly punctate, and 

 rather densely clothed with long, semierect, yellow hairs. Scutellum 

 elongate, acute at apex, and densely clothed with semierect, blackish 

 hairs. 



Elytra strongly acuminate, four times as long as pronotum, and 

 at base distinctly wider than pronotum; humeri strongly elevated; 

 sides strongly, obliquely narrowed from base to the tips, which are 

 separately, feebly, obliquely emarginate, with the lateral spine dis- 

 tinctly longer than the sutural one; disk broadly flattened, with a 

 distinct, broadly rounded costa on each elytron, extending from 

 humerus to apex ; surface very densely, finely punctate, and densely 

 clothed with long, semierect pubescence, which nearly conceals the 

 surface. 



Abdomen beneath sparsely, finely punctate, and clothed with a 

 few erect, inconspicuous hairs; last segment triangularly concave 

 posteriorh?^, broadly subtruncate at apex, with a distinct tooth on 

 each side. Prosternum smooth ; prosternal process very narrow be- 

 tween the coxal cavities, and strongly, arcuately declivous pos- 

 teriorly. Mesosternum broad, and gibbose between the coxal 

 cavities. 



Length, 12 mm. : width, 4 mm.
