not, or only feebly, spmose at the outer edge ; tarsi short, with 

 the outer, middle and hind claws deeply bifid. 



6 • Body shorter than that of the female. Mandibles pro- 

 duced in the horizontal plane and strongly curved, the tips 

 approximating and generally turned slightly upwards. Clypeus 

 deflexed between the mandibles, and the labrum more or less 

 uncovered. Pronotum shorter than in the female. First four 

 ventral segments greatly contracted, the last two moderately 

 long. Pygidium incurved and completely covered by the elytra. 

 Pirst four joints of the front tarsus very short and broad, the 

 fourth with an internal lobe ; claw-joint very large and strongly 

 curved, the inner claw large and entire. 



2 . Longer in sha])e. Clypeus more triangular. Elytra 

 thickened near the middle of the outer margins. Pygidium 

 prominent, not covered by the elytra. Inner front claw bifid or 

 toothed. 



The second Indian representative of this genus differs in many 

 important particulars from the typical species, and it may be 

 necessary eventually to separate it generically, but this point can 

 only be decided when the discovery of more specimens has made 

 it more adequately known.

 elytron, mahogany -red. 



It is rather elongate in shape and not 



very convex, and the lower surface is 



clothed, not very thickly, with short, pale 



yellow hair. The head is not large, and 



the clypeus is produced as a narrow 



rounded lobe between the mandibles. 



The forehead is shining, very scantily 



punctured, and has a vague triangular 



depression in the middle. The ante-ocular 



lobes are slightly prominent and bluntly 



pointed. The pronotum is rather sparingly 



but evenly punctured, its sides are very
