6. Sicrola magna n.sp. 



2 brilliant black, the legs and antenn;e brown to fuscous. 

 Head and thorax with a microscopicall.v fine reticulate surface sculp- 

 ture, finely but only fairly closely punctate and hairy. Head wider than the 

 thorax, longer than wide, width between the eyes a little more than the length 

 from eye to vertex, convex above, a little tumid beneath, the greatest depth 

 behind the eye ; vertical margin straight, temples rounded, eyes convex ; an- 

 tennae scarcely longer than the head, segments of the flagellum no longer than 

 wide, except the pedicel and first three funicle segments, which are a little 

 longer than wide, antennal fossse deep ; clypeal process a broad, flat, semi- 

 circular lamina, horizontally extended from the anterior margin of the head 

 and strongly longitudinally carinate ; mandibles stout, curved, concavo-convex, 

 obliquely truncate and toothed apically, the base touching the eye above ; 

 gula convex, as wide as long, median groove nearly effaced ; anterior margin

 wider than the thorax, widest across the eyes, scarcely longer than wide, the 

 length behind the eyes not great and the width decreasing slightly ; convex 

 above, tumid beneath ; vertical margin straight, temples rounded, eyes con- 

 vex ; antennae reaching the mesoscutum, segments of the flagellum a little 

 longer than wide, pedicel about twice as long as wide, antennal fossae deep ; 

 clypeus hardly forming a beak ; short, decurved, transverse, the anterior 

 margin angulate, apex not greatly exceeding anterior margin of the head, 

 medially longitudinally elevate and carinate ; mandibles large, curved, concavo- 

 convex, truncate and toothed apically, the base touching the eye above ; gula 

 and sides of the head flat, the former medially foreshortened, wider than 

 long, strongly protuberant behind, and divided into two lobes b}' a rather
