of distinct points, some points unifoi-mly behind tlie ocelli ; 

 bucculoe flavescent ; antennte with the first joint piceous-hrown, 

 as is the base of the second, that and the third brownish, their 

 articulation flavescent, as is the apex of the third which exhibits 

 a more or less short auteapical brown aunulation, fourth joint 

 piceous, the base paler, extreme apex pale, fifth joint piceous with 

 more than a third of its base flavescent ; rostrum brownish- 

 flavescent, the apex dark ; prouotum with a callous carination, the 

 median portion a little before the base and reaching the anterior 

 margin forms a glossy pad, this carination is more pronounced 

 and enlarged in front between the cicatrices and behind at its 

 commencement where it forms a transverse tubercle which is 



a little continued to each margin 

 by a feeble uniformly tufted cal- 

 losity, the median carination is again 

 enlarged but less strongly to a little 

 distance of each of two dilatations 

 to be indicated, and these points 

 proceed in a uniform manner to the 

 glossy pads, of which the anterior is 

 situated level with the transverse 

 line meeting the humeral spines ; the 

 posterior pad subtransverse, in- 

 clining to the level of the external 

 edge of the spines of the scutellum, a 

 branch leading to a reunion with the 

 tufted subbasal callosity, a little ele- 

 vated and level with the basal angles 

 of the scutellum it is directed poste- 

 riorly to terminate by the posterior 

 teeth of the pronotum ; the anterior pad is directed a little behind, 

 anastomosins: to the posterior pad, forming also a small cell close 

 to each edge of the median line, a little continued transversely 

 ' en s'efla^ant un peu et ' forming a second cell, terminating in its 

 fusion with a callous zone tied again to the posterior pad (in its 

 external part) and the part 'extracicatricielle ' of the anterior lobe 

 of the pronotum, which is convex and uniformly glossy ; the pro- 

 notum is for the greater part flavescent, sometimes tinted with 

 brownish, the parts comprised between the base, the tufted sub- 

 basal and the pads which are accordingly depressed are bro^A•nish 

 and the puncturation strongly brown, at the base of the humeral 

 spines there is a very feeble puncturation, some points ' peuvent ' 

 also mark a transverse line uniting the lateral sinus, finally a 

 series of distinct points mark the posterior margin, at least the 

 cicatrices and a line bordering behind the callous anterior margin, 

 the cicatrices are of a brilliant black, with slight green reflections; 

 scutellum with the strong projection as well as the angular cal- 

 losities, a median band continued to the basal gibbosities and two 

 commencements of parallel bands level with the spines, also the
