310 Thcodosia and other Eastern Goliathidcs. 



the sides regularly ronnded and narrowed almost from the base, 

 basal margin almost straight with a slight emargination above the 

 scutellum and the lateral angles obtuse, the disk extremely finely 

 and sparsely punctured, more coarselj^ so towards the sides. Scutel- 

 lum large elongate-triangular, almost impunctate. Elytra without 

 any trace of costte, the surface a little uneven biit impunctate with 

 the exception of an almost obsolete sutural row on the basal part, 

 the inclined lateral part transversely wrinkled in the middle and 

 coarsely strigose behind, the sutural angles distinctly produced and 

 obtuse. Pygidium coarsely and irregularly, but not closely, strigose. 

 Beneath remotely strigose at the sides, the mesosternum punctured, 

 and with some fine pale pubescence in front ; mesosternai process 

 long, obliquely divergent, narrow and slightly curved inwards 

 towards the apex, which is obtuse. Anterior legs long, the femora 

 very stout and furnished with two closely approximate teeth on the 

 under-side about one-third from the apex, the tibite slender, curved 

 and finely rugulose, slightly dilated and finely serrate on the inner- 

 side from a little below the base, the outer side without any indica- 

 tion of teeth and the apex but slightly produced ; intermediate and 

 posterior tibiae fringed with light brown hair, the latter with a very 

 slight tooth a little below the middle. 



The form of the clypeus, the very convex thorax 

 strongly deflexed in front, the almost impunctate elytra 

 and remarkable anterior legs are sufficient to at once 

 distinguish this species from T. hinghami, to which it is 

 most nearly allied.
