angles slightlv obliquely Iruncate, the disc convex, very finel}' 

 and closelv puiiclured; eljtra wider at the ba&e tlian the thorax, 

 oblong and convex; below clothed with thin yellow pubescence, 

 the posterior femora strongly incrassate, tlie tibiae rather widened, 

 the posterioi- oncs armed Mith a long spur; prosternum extremely 

 narrow, the coxal cavities open. 



This is the largest speeies of the genus known and allied 

 to J. tmicostata Jac. biit larger and of entirelj dark brown 

 colour, the autennae black; I cannot speak with certainty about 

 the sex of Ihe specimens before me but I believe that thev 

 represent both sexes, as in one speeimen the antennae are 

 distinetly longer and have the second and third Joint phorl and 

 nearly equal, the last abdominal segment has also a shallow 

 transverse depression at the apex.

 continucd in front of the eyes, antennae comparatively long, but 

 not extending to the middle of the elytra, black, the lower 

 five joints l'ulvons, third and fourth Joint equal; thorax twice as 

 broad as long, the sides nearly straight, the angles acute, the

 perpendicular groove behind the eyes, posterior margin oblique, 

 the median lobe rounded, moderately i)roduced, the surface
