200 HELOTA CANDEZEI. 



tured , the punctures on the clypeus, however, are fine 

 aud wider apart; the punctures on the raised middle por- 

 tion are elongate-ovate. 



The prothorax is at the base distinctly broader than long, 

 and narrows in slightly curved lines towards the front- 

 margin ; the sides are indistinctly crenulate , the front- 

 margin is curved backwards, the anterior angles are slightly 

 protruding; the base is deeply bisinuate, the basal angles 

 are acute, the median lobe is truncate; the upper surface 

 is covered with punctures which become larger and more 

 closely set towards the lateral margins; in front of the 

 scutellum a longitudinal impunctate streak is present on the 

 basal half, and it is accompanied on each side by a large 

 but indistinct impression. The scutellum is strongly trans- 

 verse , glossy and impunctate. 



The elytra are subparallel narrowing somewhat to the 

 apices which are slightly dehiscent and almost conjointly 

 rounded. Each elytron is provided with ten regular rows 

 of punctures (the iC^li j-qw is marginal); the punctures of 

 the 7tli — IQA rows are larger than the others; the inter- 

 stices are provided with some extremely fine punctures and 

 become more or less costate towards the apex, especially 

 the 3"! and Qtt which extend to the apical margin. 



The under surface of the head shows in the middle very 

 distinct but rather remotely placed punctures , on the lateral 

 portions the punctures are very close together. The middle 

 of the prosternum is sparsely punctured , on the sides how- 

 ever the punctures are larger and more densely set. The 

 middle of the metasternum is impunctate, the abdomen 

 finely but very distinctly punctured. The apical ventral 

 segment is flattened , transversely impressed before the apex 

 which is broadly truncate. The tibiae are provided with 

 large punctures, the anterior ones are strongly curved.
