Planettstomus imsae, n. sp. 



Narrow, elongate, parallel rufo-testaceous, shining. Antennae and legs 

 testaceous. Length 3o mm. Very similar to P. lonyiceps Cliamp., but 

 smaller, the thorax narrower and less contracted behind, and the head with 

 more numerous punctures. Head large, before the constriction of the neck 

 transversely subquadrate, being n little shorter than broad measured from the 

 anterior border to this constriction; eyes tl at, scarcely as long as the temples, 

 which are very slightly rounded and convergent behind; disc before the neck 

 with a short row of punctures ou either side converging in front, coarsely 

 punctured between the posterior borders of the eyes and the base, impunctate 

 in front except for a few moderate sized punctures behind the anterior margin. 

 Antennae with the 3rd joint shorter and smaller than the 2nd, 4th to the 6th 

 small, transverse, 7th to the 11th larger, tranverse, the 8th shorter than the 

 7th and 9th. Thorax narrower than the head, subcyliudrical, the sides but 

 slightly narrowed from the anterior angles to the base ; sculpture consisting- 

 of a row of about 12 rather large punctures on either side of the middle line 

 and a single median puncture ou the anterior border ; the sides with a few 

 irregular punctures. Elytra broader and a little longer than tlie thorax, longer

 1st joint very small, the 2ud narrow at the base, gradually thickened toward* 

 the apex and lightly curved, the 3rd long, oval, as long as but stouter than the 

 preceding, the 4th minute, subulate. Inner lobe of the maxilla triangular, 

 the inner margin furnished with slender pectinations, decreasing in length 

 posteriorly ; outer lobe densely ciliate. Tongue broad at the base, triangular, 

 the apex bluntly pointed. Paraglossae distinct, as long as the tongue and 

 furnished with long, fine ciliae. Labial palpi 3-jointed, the 1st joint very
