PACHYTERIA EVERTSI. 189 



punctured ; the 'ó^'*-^ joint one and a half as long as the 

 4^^, the remainder slightly decreasing in length. 



Prothorax but little longer than broad at the base , the 

 sides strongly angulated , the angle terminating in a short 

 tooth ; the anterior and posterior margin slightly thrown up ; 

 the uppersurface rugose in consequence of a dense punctuation, 

 slightly impressed along the middle ; the lateral teeth smooth , 

 whereas between them and the frontmargin oblique wrink- 

 les are present. The scutellum rather broadly triangular , 

 pointed at the tip, densely covered with a black pubes- 

 cence. 



The elytra slightly tapering from the base , covered with 

 minute crowded punctures , each with three slightly raised 

 smoother costae; the apices deeply emarginated. 



The under surface of the head below the mouth trans- 

 versely wrinkled , that of the prothorax very faintly so. 

 The metasternum sparsely covered with large punctures 

 intermixed with very minute ones, and with a longitudi- 

 nal line along the middle. The legs are strongly punctured, 

 the posterior femora much more densely and nearly opa- 

 que. The abdomen rather densely covered with punctures 

 which become smaller towards the end ; a transverse spot 

 of a greyish pubescence is present on the posterior coxae 

 and in the hinder angles of the four basal segments of 

 the abdomen; the hinder margin of the A^^ segment is 

 broadly emarginate , that of the 5th narrowly emarginate. 



The intercoxal part of the pro- and mesosternum for- 

 med as in the two foregoing species (no tubercle and 

 V-shaped impression). 



Hab. East Sumatra: Deli. — A single specimen (Q) in 

 the Leydeu Museum, presented by Dr. Ed. Everts. 



Mr. Rene Oberthür, of Rennes, has sent me at my re- 

 quest all his collection of Pachi/teriae for examination , and 

 no doubt it is one of the finest and most complete series 

 of these beetles that exist. It contains no less than 13 

 species , four of which are represented by both sexes.
