lateral moderately narrow yellowish band ; head deeply and some- 

 what closely punctate, clypeus sub-carinate laterally ; antennal 

 club shorter than the pedicel ; prothorax very broad at the base, 

 slightly arcuate there on each side, and sinuate above the scutellum, 

 sub-diagonally narrowed laterally in the anterior part, sinuate at 

 about the middle, covered with deep, irregular, and moderately 

 closely set punctures ; scutellum long and sharp at tip, punctulate 

 at the base, and with an impressed median line at apex ; elytra 

 somewhat short, and with the mesothoracic epimera strongly 

 developed, sinuate laterally, somewhat convex in the posterior 

 part, weakly bi-costulate on each side in the dorsal part, the 

 surface is covered with shallow, irregularly distributed, sub- 

 cicatricose punctures ; pygidium slightly depressed on each side 

 towards the apex, faintly punctulate, and having two somewhat 

 transversely elongate white patches ; under side briefly pilose on 

 the sides of the pro- and meso-sternum and on the thighs.

Mentum slightly longer than broad, moderately ampliate rounded 

 laterally, moderately constricted there near the ligular part the 

 narrowed anterior part of which is emarginate in the centre with 

 the angles well rounded, the outer part of the mentum is convex 

 instead of being concave as in Goliathus, and is provided at the base 

 with a vertical, sub-bifid process; maxillae robust at the base, but 

 with the densely hairy upper lobe somewhat slender and sharply 

 bi-dentate inwardly, inner lobe simple ; head concave in both sexes, 

 very highly carinate laterally on the upper side with the anterior 

 part produced into a highly reflexed laminate horn trifid at apex in 

 the male, whereas in the female the anterior margin is highly rerlexed 

 with the outer angles sharply angular and the median part highly 

 carinate and sharply pointed in the centre ; canthus of eyes sharply 

 angular ; antennal club shorter than the pedicel in either sex ; 

 prothorax highly roofed in the anterior part above the hollow frontal 

 part, broader than long, ampliate rounded laterally in the middle, 

 basal angles distinct, base slightly sinuate on each side and 

 moderately arcuate above the scutellum which is very long and 

 somewhat sharply acuminate ; elytra short, massive, very little 

 attenuate behind, weakly bi-costate ; anterior tibiae sharply tri- 

 dentate outwardly in both sexes ; intermediate and posterior
