adjoining the scrobe forming a small sharp angle, the upper surface 

 plane or slightly impressed and with a low central carina. An- 

 tennce ferruginous, with fine grey pubescence ; joint 2 of the club 

 with a deep V-shaped emargination on each side of its apical 

 nuirgin. Protliorax rather broader than long, the sides gently 

 rounded, broadest about the middle, the upper surface evenly 

 covered with small scattered granules, with a broad transverse 

 impression near the apex. Elytra elongate, narrowly ovate, sub- 

 acuminate at the apex, broadest at the middle, the strife regular 

 on the disk, the marginal ones strongly curved, 7 and 8 widely 

 diverging behind the middle and enclosing an irregularly punctate 

 space. Leifs black with thin recumbent pubescence, the anterior 

 trochanters sharply projecting, the femora and tibiae clothed on 

 their lower edges with long pale hairs, the hind femora reaching

the apex of the elytra, the front tibiae strongly curved and serrate 

 internally, the hind pair compressed and very strongly bent, so 

 that the inner edge of the apical half is perpendicular to the basal 

 half, the inner edge flattened, shiny and not denticulate, the apex 

 broadly dilated and forming two lobes, the outer one longer and 

 bearing the tarsus at its apex. 



$ . Differs from the 6 in having the prothorax more transverse 

 and with a shallow lateral impression on each side behind the 

 middle ; the elytra are much shorter and very broadly ovate, the 

 longitudinal curvature being much stronger ; the legs lack the 

 fringes of long hairs, the posterior femora do not reach the apex 

 of the elytra, the tibite are normal, not curved or bent, and the 

 hind ])air is very finely denticulate internally ; the antennae are 

 shorter and the emarginations of the second joint of the club very 

 shallow.
