than either of the two following; the sides of the head are pro- 
duced on each side of the two middle horns into an advanced 
conical lobe; the club of the antennze is pale yellow; the fore 
tibiae are not so broad as in the next species, and the teeth on the 
outside are obtuse; the hind tibiae appendiculated at the tip on
