ANTHEACOPEOBA. — ANATOXA. 113 



The shape is elongate-oval. The head is very finely punctured, 

 with the chjpeus short, almost straight in front and with a very 

 feebly reflexed margin. The protliorciM is very coarsely punctured 

 at the sides and has two slight depressions near the front and two 

 more near the base. The sides are strongly angulated near the 

 middle and the base deeply and narrowly emarginate in the middle. 

 The scutellum is long and narrow. The ehjtra are coarsely and 

 shallowly punctate-striate and the alternate intervals elevated, 

 especially in the anterior part. The pygidium is microscopically 

 rugose, the metastenmm and abdomen smooth in the middle and 

 coarsely rugose at the sides. The sternal pn'ocess is very short, 

 broadly rounded in front, and bears a deep transverse groove. 

 The //-oni tibia is armed with three sharp teeth, the terminal one 



§ . The terminal tooth of the front tibia has a very peculiar 

 thickening beneath and is less acute at the eud than that of the 

 male. The last two ventral segments are rather strongly 

 punctured. 



Length 18-22 mm. ; breadth 10-12 mm.

Form shortly oval, compact and convex, slightly pubescent above

 it is rather abruptly dilated, reflexed and nearly straight, the angles 

 being prominent and rounded laterally. Base of the pronotum 

 gently rounded, very feebly excised in the middle ; hind angles 

 broadly rounded. Scutellum broad at the base and scarcely 

 longer than its breadth, with the apex angulated. Sides of the 

 elytra sinuated behind the shoulders ; the sutural angles sharp 

 but not produced. Middle coxae rather wide apart and the 

 sternum not produced nor dilated in front; mesosternal part 

 extremely narrow and the suture fringed with hairs. Front
