190 FIGULUS MARGINALTS. 



The liead transverse , concave above , covered with large 

 but rather shallow punctures, the punctures much smaller 

 along the anterior margin which is widely emarginate ; the 

 ocular canthus narrow , regularly rounded , not emarginate 

 in front , finely and longitudinally scratched , and termi- 

 nating posteriorly in an acute rectangle; its outer margin 

 slightly raised. The face between the eyes provided with 

 two distant indistinct tubercles , and with two impunctate 

 longitudinal ones in front of the inner orbit ^). The man- 

 dibles are slightly curved and acuminate, longitudinally 

 grooved above, and armed with a small tooth a little 

 before the middle on the inner side. The prothorax is 

 broader than the head , as long as broad , if not longer 

 than broad *) , the sides sub-parallel , the base truncate 

 with acute angles , the anterior angles slightly produced 

 and rounded; a slight but distinct tubercle on the middle 

 of the front margin ^) , and a narrow , longitudinal , deeply 

 punctured groove across the middle of the disc. The disc 

 strongly and rather closely punctured , except a nearly 

 impunctate broad streak on each side of the groove and 

 a finely punctured narrow one along the lateral margins. 

 The slightly raised lateral margins become distinctly cre- 

 Dulate a little behind the middle. The elytra are of the 

 same width as the prothorax , parallel , pointed and minu- 

 tely crenulated at the shoulders , with all the striae dis- 

 tinctly punctured , the interstices flat with an irregular 

 row of very fine punctures on the middle, the lateral 

 margin and the apical portion opaque , the former provided 

 with concatenated semicircular shining lines , the latter with 

 large but shallow circular punctures *). Beneath the sides 



I) In F. sulcastaneus Westw. the head is provided between the eyes with 

 a transverse central tubercle most slightly impressed at the top, and the 

 longitudinal tubercle in front of the inner orbit is much more developed. 



2j Distinctly broader than long in F. sulcastaneus Westw. 



3) Totally wanting in F. subcastaneus Westw. 



4) In F. subcastaneus Westw. the lateral margin and apical ])ortion of the 

 elytra are not opaque, although covered with irregular opaque punctures, which 

 are confluent on the lateral margin behind the middle.
