 In a few instances (e.g. Horn, py^maea ) the first joint of hind tarsi is some- 

 what elonjate and noticeably longer than the second.

One of our largest and most robust Komalota species, in appearance not 

 unlike a Myrmedonia , easily identified by the proportionately broad, posteri- 

 orly distinctly tapering form of the body, its peculiar color, and sex-char- 

 acters of the O^ ; this as well as the follov.ing species furthermore remark- 

 able by the broadly separated middle-coxae, and the broad, roundly-obtuse tip 

 of the mesoBternum (Fig. 39), 



Cinnanon-brown or yellow-reddish Lrown, finely and sparsely haired, fore- 

 body feebly, abdomen strongly glistening; hind corners of elytra most often 

 more darkly brown; abdomen black or brov.nish-black, its tip and posterior 

 margins of its foremost joints often yellowish-red; antennae pitch-black, 

 their base and the legs brownish yellow. 



The head broad, however much narrower than pronotum, with very fine and 

 scattered punctation; antennae rather short, robust, bristle-haired, their 

 third joint longer than the second, the following increasingly thickened, 

 whereby the nextlast Joints become twice as broad as long; distal joint al- 

 most as long as the next-last two joints together. Pronotum is twice as broad 

 as long, very little narrower than e'lytra, with smoothly rounded, bristla-
