A specimen before me was taken by Mr. fieorge Masters at Peter- 

 sham (the original c-nllector and one of the original localities), and 

 it can, I think, be fairly regarded as a co-type. 



Its metasternum, not mentioned by King, is concave in the 

 middle, with a strong curved ridge or carina slightly inwards from, 

 but marking the outlines of each of the hind coxae, the carina at the 

 highest about its middle, so that fiom the side it appears as a conical 

 tubercle or tooth. The under surface of the abdomen is largelv con- 

 cave, each side of the concave portion being bounded by a line of 

 obtusely pointed tubercles, forming the ridge mentioned by King. 

 The clul) is decidedly concave on its upper surface, but the hollow is 

 neither shining nor very deep.

(J- Reddish-castaneous. With very minute pale pul)escence. 



Iffdd moderately large, rather feel)ly convex ; densely punctate ; a 

 shallow depression between eyes (which are small and prominent), 

 and another between antennae. Antennae stout, first joint almost as 

 long as second and third combined, but from above apparently the 

 length of second, second to fifth transverse, of equal length, sixth 

 the same length but more rounded, seventh as large as head, subreni- 

 form, convex on lower surface, hollowed out and highly polished on 

 upper surface. Prothora i feel)ly transverse, sides widest at about 

 apical third ; punctures as on head ; with a very small median 

 sub])asal fovea, and a slightly larger one on each side. Ehjtra about 

 as long as wide, sides gently rounded, without striae ; punctures 

 rather coarser than on prothorax, l)ut otherwise the same. Upper 

 sui'face of ahdomen apparently not segmented, evenly rounded ; 

 punctures as on prothorax ; lower surface with apical segments ap- 

 pearing within a slight subcircular depression, liasal segments with a 

 large depression conspicuously bounded on each side by a ridge or 

 row of obtuse tubercles. M eta-^ternnin largely excavated in middle, 

 and tm each side of depression with a large, acute and slightly curved 

 tooth. Leys: long and thin ; trochanters o])i:usely dentate ; front 

 femora minutely denticulate, middle femora with a small subbasal 

 tooth, concealed from most directions : hind tibiae bent downwards 

 in middle, and somewhat longer than the others ; tarsi terminated 

 l)y a single claw, the basal joint large. Length 1^ mm.
