CHLOKOPEELÂ CAPNOPTEEA n. sp. 



R. MAC-LACHLAN. 



Head: the produced frontal portion broadly truncate; before the 

 frontal edge is a deeply bisinuate groove, extending down to the 

 eye on either side; disk of the head nearly smooth, but there is 

 a small serai-lunate tubercle on either side , nearly (but not quite) 

 on a line with the anterior ocellus; colour nearly uniformly pale 

 yellowish-testaceous, slightly suffused with fuscous posteriorly; the 

 orbits of the ocelli , the two small tubercles , and the frontal groove 

 at its sides, blackish; antennae blackish, yellowish in the basal 

 third, palpi yellowish, the terminal joints fuscescent. 



Pronotum as broad as the head without the eyes; considerably 

 broader than long; anterior edge slightly arcuate, posterior edge 

 straight, sides oblique, so that the hinder part is narrower than 

 the anterior ; disk with a strong impressed longitudinal line in the 

 middle of a smooth median space, on either side of which the 

 disk becomes coarsely and irregularly rugose; the median smooth 

 space is yellowish-testaceous , the rugose portion on either side of 

 it fuscescent, but the margins are pale, so that the thorax is 

 marked by two rather vague broad fuscescent lines (continued in 

 a very indistinct manner on the posterior portion of the head). 

 Mesonotum and raetanotum shining black, the former yellowish- 

 testaceous in front. 



The whole underside of head and thorax pale ochraceous. 



Legs yellowish-testaceous, the femora externally and internally, 

 the tibiae externally, and the tarsi, somewhat fuscescent, the 

 latter nearly blackish at the tips. 



Abdomen ochraceous; the posterior segments above narrowly
