212 Mr. Arthur M. Lea's Revision of the 



specimen in that museum is possibly the male ; it has 

 the head testaceous, largely excavated in the middle and 

 with a large frontal elevation, which is emarginate pos- 

 teriorly and longitudinally impressed towards its base, but 

 convex and rounded in front (seen from behind the base of 

 this elevation appears as two small tubercles). The base 

 of its elytra (except about the scutellum) is pale, the pale 

 portion indistinctly continued along the sides to the apical 

 fourth, when it is diverted across the disc towards (but not 

 to) the suture, so as to appear as an indistinct, interrupted, 

 subapical fascia. At this place the elytra are quite sym- 

 metrically impressed (traces of these impressions can be 

 seen in the type). The prothorax instead of being black 

 and testaceous at the base, is of a dingy brown, and almost 

 white at the base.

(J. Deep glossy black ; prothorax, basal third of elytra, four front 

 femora and coxae, and base of hind femora of a reddish-brown ; head 

 and six basal joints of antennae somewhat paler, terminal joints 

 infuscate. With a few moderately long scattered hairs. 



JTearf irregularly and largely excavated; a strong trilobed eleva- 

 tion between eyes, the median lobe largest continued hindward and 

 again elevated. Antennae simple, extending almost to apex of elytra, 

 11th joint long. Prothorax considerably longer than wide, sides 

 decreasing in width from apex to base, near base strongly trans- 

 versely impressed, base itself about half the width of apex. Elytra 

 twice the width of the base of prothorax, and longer than prothorax 

 and head combined ; impunctate ; sides towards apex largely but 

 not suddenly impressed. Leys long and thin, basal joint of front 

 tarsi dilated. 



Length to apex of elytra 2, of abdomen 3 mm.
