  femora 
  very 
  stout: 
  all 
  the 
  tibiae 
  are 
  denticulated 
  within, 
  but 
  the 
  

   much 
  curved 
  anterior 
  tibiae 
  have 
  the 
  den'iculations 
  unusually 
  pro- 
  

   minent, 
  especially 
  near 
  the 
  apex. 
  The 
  middle 
  tibiae 
  are 
  somewhat 
  

   dilated 
  externally, 
  and 
  internally 
  at 
  the 
  apex, 
  and 
  the 
  posterior 
  

   tibiae 
  are 
  much 
  dilated 
  at 
  the 
  extremity, 
  on 
  the 
  outer 
  side, 
  as 
  in 
  

   Prostoinus, 
  but 
  there 
  is 
  an 
  inner 
  produced 
  portion 
  which 
  is 
  larger 
  

   than 
  the 
  outer. 
  The 
  tarsi 
  are 
  rather 
  slender 
  ; 
  the 
  claws 
  very 
  

   small, 
  and 
  they 
  appear 
  to 
  be 
  united 
  at 
  the 
  base, 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  other 
  

   extremity 
  they 
  diverge 
  very 
  little.

  This 
  insect 
  is 
  rather 
  larger 
  than 
  PsaUdmm 
  maxillosum 
  ; 
  its 
  form 
  

   is 
  more 
  elongate, 
  and 
  much 
  less 
  convex, 
  and 
  in 
  fact 
  approaches 
  

   nearly 
  to 
  that 
  of 
  Prostonuis 
  scutellaris. 
  The 
  thorax 
  is 
  equal 
  in 
  

   length 
  and 
  breadth, 
  and 
  has 
  the 
  sides 
  equally 
  rounded 
  ; 
  it 
  is 
  

   slightly 
  constricted 
  close 
  to 
  the 
  anterior 
  margin, 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  

   transverse 
  depression 
  near 
  the 
  hind 
  margin. 
  The 
  elytra 
  are 
  trun- 
  

   cated 
  and 
  constricted 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  ; 
  the 
  humeral 
  angles 
  are 
  very 
  

   oblique, 
  the 
  sides 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  portion 
  nearly 
  parallel, 
  the 
  apical 
  

   portion 
  gradually 
  attenuated, 
  and 
  the 
  apex 
  obtusely 
  rounded 
  : 
  on 
  

   the 
  fore 
  part 
  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  subdepressed, 
  but 
  on 
  the 
  hinder 
  part 
  

   they 
  are 
  moderately 
  convex. 
  The 
  under 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  body 
  are 
  

   very 
  thickly 
  punctulated. 
  The 
  narrow 
  and 
  sharp 
  denticles 
  on 
  

   the 
  inner 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  tibiae 
  are 
  red, 
  — 
  if 
  we 
  except 
  the 
  

   smaller 
  denticles 
  near 
  the 
  base. 
  The 
  legs 
  are 
  pubescent. 
  The 
  

   constricted 
  base 
  to 
  the 
  elytra 
  and 
  thorax, 
  and 
  the 
  two 
  being 
  

   somewhat 
  separated, 
  reminds 
  of 
  that 
  form 
  o^ 
  the 
  parts 
  in 
  question 
  

   which 
  is 
  common 
  in 
  the 
  Scaritidce.
