i80 ISCHIOPSOPIIA. EMARGINATA. 



the anterior half of the lateral margin with some trans- 

 verse short striae. The slightly rounded top of the scu- 

 tellum visible in the incision of the median thoracical lobe. 

 The elytra at the base hardly broader than the base of 

 the prothorax, sinuated behind the shoulders, slightly nar- 

 rowed towards the apex behind the middle , and transver- 

 sely depressed just behind the median thoracical lobe; the 

 apex deeply notched and strongly spined at the suture. 

 The elytra sparingly sprinkled over with very fine but 

 distinct punctures , the posterior half of the lateral margin 

 covered with deep transverse striae, joining the sutural 

 margin across the apical tubercle , the apical portion smooth. 

 The upper part of the pygidium transversely striated , the 

 striae curved upwards, the underpart with some transverse 

 short lines intermixed with a few punctures ; the sharp trans- 

 verse keel regularly rounded. The apical half of the anterior 

 tibiae armed with three distinct lateral teeth ; the erect 

 hairs at the anterior coxae and femora black ; all the femora 

 with some curved impressed lines in front , and a row of 

 punctures before the hind margin; the tibiae deeply punc- 

 tured. The sternal process narrow, elongate, slightly 

 curved upwards towards the apex, the lateral portions of 

 the prosternum longitudinally striated ; the mesosternum 

 sparingly sprinkled over with very fine punctures and with 

 a few transverse striae along the front margin ; the abdo- 

 minal segments with a few punctures, more numerous 

 however at the fifth segment; the sixth segment as well 

 as the basal half of the sides of the first transversely 

 striated; besides the second and third segment, the fourth 

 also shows a stridulating spot which is however small. 



The described specimen was captured at Doreh (New 

 Guinea) by Mr. D. S. Hoedt , and presented to the Leyden 

 Museum with many other valuable insects.
