128 AEGUS PREANGERENSIS. 



giuate before the angular hinder angles, the forder angles 

 projecting and subtruncate; grooved along the margins, 

 more broadly so along the lateral ones which are crenu- 

 late and beset with a few short pale hairs ; the disc is 

 somewhat depressed along the middle , strongly punctured 

 all over, coarsest towards the sides. — In a less developed 

 specimen this sculpture is much stronger, rather confluent 

 and subrugose at the base and the sides. 



Elytra with the shoulders slightly prominent, ending in 

 a small blunt tooth ; each with six well-marked striae and 

 an indistinct seventh at the sides, the interstices plain and 

 smooth posteriorly, finely punctured along the suture and 

 towards the base where the punctures become gradually 

 larger and confluent , the sides and the apical portion 

 uniformly densely punctured and subpubescent. — In the 

 minor development the elytral sculpture too is stronger 

 and the glabrous space smaller. 



Undersurface shining, distinctly but distantly punctured, 

 the punctuation coarsest in front of the forder coxae, 

 closest on the last ventral segment , all the punctures 

 bearing soft short fulvous hairs; jugulum and mentum 

 with a few large widely spread pits , forder tibiae with three 

 teeth before the terminal fork , intermediate and posterior 

 tibiae with a single spine on the outer edge. 



The female has the mandibles acutely pointed at the 

 tip , with a large bidentate process about the middle ; the 

 sculpture of the head is very coarse and unequal , showing 

 along the front-margin, between the ante-ocular nodosities , 

 a narrow streak which is less thickly punctured and con- 

 sequently more shining; thorax and elytra uniformly and 

 very coarsely punctured, undersurface more strongly punctate 

 than in the male sex. 



Length: cf 14—16 mm., 9 13 — 14 mm.
