HELOTA HELLERI, 55) 
curved, the apical half shallowly furrowed along the un- 
derside, the outer edge of the furrow notched just before 
the end, the inner edge suddenly notched just behind the 
basal half of the tibia, the notch immediately followed by 
a slightly oblique triangular tooth with broad base and 
dark pitchy acute top; the tibia is strongly impressed 
between the inner edge of the furrow and the upperside 
of the tibia; the anterior tarsi (the claw-joint excepted) are 
densely hirsute below; the posterior tibiae are irregularly 
curved, flattened below and show a trace of a broad tooth 
at their inner margin at some distance from the end. 
Metasternum broadly impressed along the middle. Apical 
ventral segment very broadly truncated in a straight line 
posteriorly and provided with a large semicircular tomen- 
tose impression. 
Q. Elytra narrowing at the end, the extreme apices obli- 
quely truncate towards the suture; the sutural interstices 
ending in a minute tooth. Legs simple; metasternum flat 
with an impressed line along the middle; apical ventral 
segment very broadly rounded posteriorly.
