di'ical , scarcely more strongly punctured than the thorax , the 

 punctuation arranged in close and rather regular rows , the in- 

 terstices very finely longitudinally costate ; legs and underside 

 black; first posterior tarsal joint as long as the two following 

 together; claws appendiculate ; anterior coxal cavities open. 



New Guinea, Fly River (L. M. D'Albertis). 



Several nearly similarly coloured species have been described 

 from which the present one may be distinguished by the colour 

 of the antennae and the legs in connection whith its rather 

 large size; although the thorax in the insect here described shows

Testaceous; apical joints of the antennae and the posterior 

 femora, black; elytra finely punctured, testaceous, the suturai 

 margin piceous. 



Length 1 V2 line. 



Head with a few fine punctures near the inner margin of 

 the eyes, the vertex impunctate ; frontal tubercles distinct , nar- 

 row and oblique ; labrum black ; apical joint of the palpi piceous ; 

 antennae slender, more than half the length of the body, four 

 lower joints testaceous, the rest black; fourth joint slightly 

 longer than the third, the latter about one half longer than 

 the preceeding; thorax scarcely double as broad as long, ante- 

 rior margin straight, posterior one rounded; sides straight, the 

 anterior angles obliquely cut; surface entirely impunctate; scu- 

 tellum piceous; elytra rather convex, nearly parallel, testaceous, 

 very finely and rather irregularly punctured , the suture nar- 

 rowly piceous from the base to the apex but gradually narrowed 

 towards the latter place ; underside and legs with the exception 

 of the posterior femora and sometimes the sides of the breast, 

 wdiich is black, testaceous; first posterior tarsal joint about one 

 third the length of the til)iae, the latter gradually widened at
