sex generally in the OnthopJiagi, that I should have hesitated to 

 describe the single specimen as a ^J if it were not for the corroboration 

 afforded by the produced and angulated. inner apices of the anterior 

 tibiae, the same being obliquely truncated in the other three (?) 

 examples.

Differs from P. Wittei and P. Dregei in the gense being dilated 

 into a sub-triangular lobe (rounded at the apex), different in shape 

 from the same part in all other species of Phalops. The head, from 

 the hind part of the clypeus nearly to the summit of the long fissile 

 occipital plate, is clothed with long, erect, grey hairs. The pubescence 

 of the thorax is recumbent and curled ; that of the elytra similar, but 

 more sparsely scattered.
