transversely excavated below the basilar space ; surface somewhat 

 finely but not very closely punctured, the punctures arranged 

 (but very indistinctly) in irregular ill-defined rows ; internnediate 

 pair of tibiae notched externally just before the apex ; tarsi green- 

 ish-purple. 



Although I possess only a single specimen (a ^ ) of this insect, 

 and do not know the $, I have no hesitation, from the great re-

Hab. Pulo-Penang ; collected by Mr. Lamb. 

 Epistome not longer than broad, sides converging back- 

 wards, broadly truncate at its apex, where it is separated from 

 the face by a distinct sutural groove ; surface finely rugose- 

 punctate ; face coarsely punctureJ, impressed in the middle with 

 a broad longitudinal groove, anterior border of face rounded, 

 sinuate on either side, produced medially into a short obtuse 

 lobe, on the surface of which is an elevated ridge; encarpae 

 cultriform, separated from the face by a deep groove, their sur- 

 face smooth, impunctate; forehead slightly swollen; antennae 

 two-thirds the length of the body in the $ , shorter in the ? ; five 

 outer joints dark purple, compressed and gradually increasing in 

 width in the $, rather more abruptly dilated in the $. Thorax 

 nearly a third broader than long, sides nearly straight and pa- 

 rallel, rounded and converging in front ; above very convex, 

 almost subcylindiical, sides strongly deflexed in front ; surface 

 finely punctured. Elytra much broader than the thorax, sides 

 parallel, their apex acutely rounded in the $, subacute in the $, 

 above convex, deeply excavated transversely below the basilar 

 space, humeral callus moderately produced ; surface rather
