AUhough I pot*8ehs three speeimens of thi» species, tliey 

 seem uufortunately all to be females, the males may probably 

 varv much in regard to the structure of the head and the 

 antennae, these latter in the specimeus before me have 

 comparatively short and thickish joints; the species can 

 therefore not be mistakeii for a variety of Mefelhis fulvicollis 

 which has long slender and fulvous antennae, Platyxantha 

 nigripennis Jac. is another allied species but has slender 

 antennae of fulvous colour as well as the legs and entirely 

 black elytra.
