punctured and liaiiv lii'low. Tlio meso.sternum is dull, unpunctured and hairles.s all over. 

 The uiotastenuuu is puuctuied and hairy in the lateral and anterior intermediate areas 

 only ; the lateral areas are slightly broadened behind. The abdominal sterna are smooth 

 and glossy, except the first pair of scars which are somewhat rough. The elytra are 

 sparsely hairy between the shoulders ; their grooves are somewhat strongly punctured- 

 The middle tibiae each have a >mall spine before the end.

The labrum is lightly concave in fr«jnt, lightly convex at the sides. The m-indibles 

 (which are somewhat worn) appear to have been very like tho.se of Arroc agassni. but the 

 two lowest terminal teeth have been fused, probably at the base only, and somewhat widely 

 separated from the uppermost terminal tooth, especially on the left side. The head is smooth, 

 with a stronglv elevated central tubercle flanked by straight and .somewhat forwardly directed 

 parietal ridges. The central tubercle unites in front with a slender, finely pointed. V-shaped 

 ridge or ])air of ridges from which the obsolete frontal ridges arise at an obtuse angle to each 

 other. The inner t\ibercles are well developed, but the frontal ridges do not reach 

 them. 



The sides of the prunotum are strongly concave, but are overhung Ijy the strongly 

 convex upper borders of the marginal grooves. The anterior margin is practically straight, 

 but is bordered bv a strongly sinuous marginal groove which, though much narrowed near 

 the middle line, is scarcely broken. The pronotum is highly convex behind the median 

 curve of this groove, which is enlarged on either side of the convexity. At the sides the 

 •n-oove is broad behind as well as in front, not narrow behind as in V. sinuatocolUs, Kuwert. 

 The median groove is deeply impressed and practically complete. 



The scutellum is coarsely punctured in the anterior angles and on either side of all but 

 the extreme po.sterior i)art of the middle line, bands meeting in the posterior angle to form 

 an i -shaped figure being left unpunctured. The mesothoracic episterna are glossy and 

 punctured above and along the anterior margii.. matt and unpunctureil behind. The 

 mpsosternum bears matt bands in the middle line and along the sides, meeting in a broad 

 matt area in the anterior angle to form an T -shaped figure. Between these bands it is 

 glossy. It is unpunctured and hairless throughout. The metasternum is punctured and 

 hairy only in the anterior parts of the anteri<ir intermediate areas and in the lateral areas ; 

 the lateral areas are moderately broad behind. The abdominal sterna are glossy. The 

 grooves of the elytra are di.stinctly punctured, especially laterally : the shoulders are 

 without hair. There is a .strong spine a little beyond the middle (»f the n\iddle and hind 



tiV)iae.
