Heteeochelus dissidexs, n. spec. 



Male: Black, with only the elytra and tlie scutellum covered with 

 deep orange scales ; head and prothorax very scabrose, and clothed 

 with a short but dense, erect, black pubescence, clypeus acuminate 

 and produced at apex into tw^o sharp, triangular, reflexed teeth ; pro- 

 thorax with a median longitvidinal furrow disappearing on the anterior 

 pai't ; scutellum covered with scales, which are brighter yellow 

 than those on the elytra, where they are very small and set very 

 close to each other, the suture, however, is without scales; the elytra 

 are elongate, sub-parallel, not distinctly costate, and have on each side 

 three longitudinal rows of very short, remote, black bristles, as well 

 as a similar row along the suture ; the propygidium, pygidium, sides 

 of abdomen and legs are briefly and not densely setulose ; the tro- 

 chanters of the hind legs are non-spinose, the hind femora are not 

 very swollen and are simple, even on each side of the knee, the hind 

 tibiae are nearly as long as the femora and also quite simple, gradually 

 dilated from base to apex, not concave inwardly, strongly angular on 

 each side of the apical part, but not mucronate, and there is a long, 

 apical spur ; hind claws double, the inner slender, cleft and only lialf 

 the length of the other, which is very robust and simple. 



Female : Clypeus also strongly bi-dentate, but not as sharply as 

 in the male ; the prothoi'ax is clothed with longer grey hairs ; the 

 scales on the elytra are more lemon-colour, the two costae on each 

 side are quite distinct and usually denuded, and the pygidium and 

 abdomen are hairy.
