feebly elevated, flattened, feebly reticulated space; shoulders 

 strongly elevated, and in the form of reticulated irregular epaul- 

 ettes ; behind these the elytra are strongly elevated, with each 

 elevation strongly sloping inwards and rearwards, and vertical 

 outwards ; surface with punctures as on prothorax, except that 

 about the inner walls of the post humeral elevations they be- 

 come striated ; with small scattered granules ; outer margins 

 with strong striae converging to a depression, which is bounded 

 by the outer wall of the outer humeral emargination. Pyyi- 

 dium, propygidium and under surface with punctures as on 

 prothorax, but coarser on prosternum than elsewhere. Pi-u- 

 sternum without ridges and femoral grooves. Metasternum fully 

 as long as prosternum, with a narrow, continuous median line. 

 Abdomen about two-thirds the length of metasternum. Legs 

 very long ; femora thickened towards apex and not grooved, 

 four hind pair moderately curved ; til^ae the length of femora, 

 somewhat curved, without flange-like extensions, the two front 

 pairs at about middle somewhat thickened (with the thickened 

 portion commencing angularly), and thence to apex each with 

 a groove for the reception of tarsi ; the hind pair strongly 

 thickened at apical two-fifths, with the thickened portion not 

 commencing angularly, and densely granulate-punctate, ter- 

 minated by a short distinct mucro, and with a narrow deep 

 tarsal groove. Length 3 mm.

Apparently closer to iuaequalis than to any other described 

 species, but base of elytra and punctures not as in description 

 of that species, and legs much longer (the four front legs of 

 inaequalis are described as longer than the elytra, and the hind 

 pair longer than the entire body ; in the present species the 

 four front legs are longer than the entire body, whilst the hind 

 legs are tAvice the length of the body. 



The raised front margin of the prothorax is divided into six 

 small median lobes, but of these the two outer ones represent 

 the inner ends of strong curved lines that sweep round the 

 ant-ennary receptacles ; from some directions these cui*\"es appear 

 quite regular, but from others each is seen to have a small 

 median elevation. No part of the elytral excavation is highly 

 polished and all parts are reticulated. The epaulettes each are
