the exception of the apical half of the claw-joint) , and 

 four large spots on the e|ytra, forming to broad entire 

 bauds , one across the base , the other across the middle '), 

 luteous; moreover the 5th autennal joint and the body 

 beneath are indefinitely spotted with luteous. A short seri- 

 ceous pile , — black or luteous , in accordance with the color 

 of the derm , — covers the upper surface and antennae ; 

 beneath this pile is light colored all over ; the inner mar- 

 gin of the front tibiae is clothed with a luteous pubescence. 

 The head shining , sparsely punctate , the mandibles -) 

 rather densely punctured; the antennary tubers pointed at 

 the top and separated by a narrow, deep groove, which 

 ends anteriorly in a smooth transverse impression; the 

 under surface of the head is transversely wrinkled. The 

 scape of the antennae finely punctured, slightly curved, 

 widened out at the top on the outside ; the 3rd joint is 

 rather strongly curved , twice as long as the 4th , and en- 

 larged at the end on the outside; the 5th joint is a little 

 longer than the 4th , the following joints gradually decrease 

 in length, with the exception of the apical one which is 

 distinctly longer than the 10th; the fore side of the 

 4th — 10th joint is more or less prolonged at the tip. — 

 The disk of the thorax is very shining, extremely finely 

 punctured , strongly convex along the middle , and provided 

 with an irregular rather deep impression on each side ; the 

 sides of the thorax are occupied by a large longitudinal 

 callosity which is separated from the disk by a rather dis- 

 tinct groove. Scutellum triangular, inconspicuously punc- 

 tate, deeply impressed along the middle. — The elytra 

 nearly parallel, broadly rounded at the shoulders and at 



1) The latter is deeply and angularly notched on the middle of the hind 

 margin. 



2) These are elongate, although not so strongly as in the allied genus 

 Fachytcria, which has moreover the clypeus or lowermost part of the face 

 produced so as to form a kind of pedicel for the lip.
