132 HELOTA INDICATOR. 



The undersurface is very shining; the head (except the 

 middle of the throat) strongly punctured ; the punctures 

 on the metallic lateral portions of the prosternum large 

 and deep, on the sides of the metasternum a few fine but 

 distinct punctures are present; the elytral epipleurae are 

 impunctate. 



The anterior tibiae (in the male) slightly curved on the 

 outside, on the inside they have a deep rounded notch 

 about the middle; this notch is followed by a flattened, 

 straight, parallel-sided tooth with rounded tip ; this tooth 

 is obliquely directed forward and inward ; between this 

 tooth and the apex the tibia is widened out which makes 

 the front side of the tooth shorter than the posterior one; 

 the longer (posterior) margin and the tip of the tooth are 

 dark pitchy, the latter as well as the margin of the en- 

 larged apical portion of the tibia is fringed with colourless 

 hairs; the short basal joints of the anterior tarsi are slightly 

 enlarged and densely fringed beneath with long pale co- 

 loured hairs; the middle and hind tibiae are faintly con- 

 stricted on the outer margin at some distance from the 

 apex; the hind tibiae are moreover provided, on the inner 

 edge a little before the apex, with a very minute angular 

 tooth which is preceded by a black line originating from 

 the middle of the length of the tibiae; the space between 

 this minute tooth and the apex is finely pubescent; the 

 tarsi are as long as the tibiae.
