46 CYCLOMMATUS SQUAMOSUS. 



once distinguislied by the conspicuous larger size of the scales. 



Length of the forma major (without mandibles) 26 

 ram., that of the mandibles 14 mm.; breadth at the shoul- 

 ders of the elytra 9 mm. , length of the elytra MVg mm. — 

 Reddish brown with a strong bronze green hue ; the outer 

 upper margin of the mandibles , the teeth , the scape of 

 the antennae and the thickened outer margin of the elytra 

 blackish. — Covered with dirty white scales which are 

 roundish on the mandibles , head , pronotum and lateral 

 margins of the elytra, elongate ovate on the remaining 

 portion of the latter and here thin and soft and conside- 

 rably larger. 



The mandibles are slightly curved and armed a little 

 beyond the middle with an acute tooth; on the basal half 

 of the space between this tooth and the base of the man- 

 dibles about five crenulations are present; the space be- 

 tween the ante-apical tooth (which is broad and obliquely 

 truncate) and the tip is occupied on the right mandible 

 by two , on the left one by about six sharply pointed 

 teeth ; the space between the ante-apical and the post- 

 median tooth is without any tooth or crenulation. The 

 mandibles are opaque in consequence of a very minute 

 sculpturing which is intermixed with scale- bearing punc- 

 tures; the apical portion, however, is glossy. 



The head is opaque being very densely covered with 

 minute granulations which are intermixed with scales; the 

 cheeks are somewhat coarser; the upper side shows a large 

 semilunar impression in front of which the head slopes 

 slowly to the clypeus which is broad and has the middle 

 portion of its front margin turned upwards and notched 

 at the top. 



The pronotum is opaque, subshining along the middle, 

 covered with large and deep scale-bearing punctures ; the 

 front margin is deeply bisinuate and accompanied in the 

 middle by a narrow groove which widens out towards the 

 sides and which is narrowly interrupted by a shallow 

 median groove.
