(3) 2. Male, elytra nearly four times as long as its 
basal width, head highly polished and 
shining; female, head viewed from in 
front not very transverse, vertex much 
raised between the eyes”. ; c . FLAVOMACULATUS. 
(2) 3. Male, elytra about three times as long as its 
basal width, head not very shining; 
female, head viewed from in front very 
transverse; vertex only slightly raised . cRUCIATUS.

this latter, ochreous white. Head very shining, strongly 
carinated on the vertex posteriorly in the male, carina

callosities strongly marked, collar very short, ? (brach.) 
callosities very large, swollen and shining, projecting so as 
to cause the sides to be much rounded in front and sinuate 
behind them; elytra in the d¢ very elongate, in the 
brachypterous $ shorter than the abdomen. I do not
