Neopharsalia^ v. d. Poll. 



Caput mediocre , supra angustius ; tuberihus antenniferis 

 validis , hreviusculis ; oculorum lobi inferiores magni , subcon- 

 vexi. — Frons trapeziformis , subconvexa ; mandibulae robustae 

 oblique prominentes. — Antennae <S longissimae , scapo , cy- 

 lindrico , elongato , cicatricoso , articulo tertio longiore , caeteris 

 subaequalibus. — Prothorax subtransversus , utrinque in medio 

 fortiter spinosus , antice et postice constrictus. — Elytra- sub- 

 cuneiformia , subconvexa , humeris rotundatis , singulis apici- 

 bus rotundatis. — Mesosternum paullo productum , obtuse 

 rotundatum. 



Resembles the genus Pharsalia, but differs in having 

 the uuderlobes of the eyes much larger, more approximate 

 in front; the front of course narrower, more trapeziform; 

 the antenniferous tubercles somewhat more distant and not 

 spiniformly enlarged at the innerside; the elytra without 

 tubercles at the base, the shoulders not prominent; the 

 mesosternum not acutely produced. 



Neopharsalia Costeri, v. d. Poll.

cf. Castanea, pube ochracea, alba et brunnea variegata ; in 

 lateribus capitis , thoracis , in elytrorum humeris et parte 

 apicali maculis dilutis ornata. Frons linea elevata longitudi- 

 naliter inscripta. — Thorax disco subgibboso. Scutellum
