Oblong-ovate, sntiparallel ; of the same form as the other species 

 of Monoplatus. The head is very slightly produced in front ; below 

 the base of the antennae is an obliquely transverse depression ; the 

 surface between the eyes is levigate, unmarked by any fovea ; the 

 colour is black, with two small circular fulvous markings at the 

 upper and inner margins of the eyes ; the eyes are large, in form 

 globose, and situated laterally, at the base of the head. Thorax 

 transverse ; the anterior angles are distinct, and project laterally 

 beyond the head ; the anterior margin is subemarginate ; the sides 

 are straight, parallel, and broadly marginate ; the surface is equate, 

 impunctate, and glabrous ; at the base, parallel to the basal line, is 

 a transverse thread-like fovea, which is deflected to the line of the 

 base before it reaches the lateral margins. Scutellum large, trian- 

 gular, levigate. Elytra broader than the thorax, parallel, robust, 

 distinctly punctate-striatc, rounded at the apex ; of a dark fawn-
