154 A NEW SPECIES OF THE Q. AEG06NATHUS LEUTHH. 



the swelling in the cheek behind the eyes rounded ; dull , impunctate. 

 Mandibles shorter than the head and thorax together, strongly 

 bent inwards, terminating in a blunt point, in the middle with 

 a strong upward directed acuminate tooth, at the base with three 

 small approximate teeth, perpendicularly placed. 



Thorax dull, impunctate, with the sides slightly emarginated 

 in the middle, then converging in an oblique direction towards 

 the posterior angles, which are subacute and in continuation of 

 the flexuous line of the posterior margin ; the anterior angles acute 

 and projecting ; with a raised rim along the sides and the base , 

 and a broad longitudinal impression in the middle. 



Elytra reticulate-punctate , the punctures forming irregular lines , 

 the humeral angles with an obtuse tooth ; slightly shining , covered 

 with an extremely fine fulvous pubescence. 



Underside shining, with a few punctures on the breast, which 

 become more numerous on the abdomen. 



The tibiae of the anterior legs with eight, gradually increasing 

 teeth on the outer edge before the termir?al tooth. 



Measurements c?: total 29 mm.; head 6 long, 9 broad; man- 

 dibles 7,5; prothorax 5 by 40; elytra 12 by 9. 



This species is close to Aegognathns Waterhousei Leuthner, but 

 may easily be distinguished by the deeply emarginated front of 

 the head, the more rectangular thorax, as well as by the red 

 markings. 



I have much pleasure in dedicating this beautiful species to Dr. 

 Franz Leuthner, the author of the splendid monograph of the 

 Odontolabini.
