  Waterhouse's 
  Descriptions 
  of 
  

  

  from 
  the 
  apex 
  of 
  each 
  elytron 
  : 
  on 
  each 
  elytron 
  is 
  a 
  small 
  oblong 
  

   dirty 
  white 
  mark, 
  at 
  some 
  little 
  distance 
  from 
  the 
  apex, 
  and 
  this 
  

   spot 
  terminates 
  posteriorly 
  in 
  a 
  small 
  tubercle 
  covered 
  with 
  the 
  

   same 
  whitish 
  scales. 
  The 
  scales 
  are 
  more 
  dense 
  on 
  all 
  these 
  

   tubercles 
  than 
  on 
  other 
  parts. 
  The 
  body 
  beneath 
  is 
  flat, 
  has 
  

   scattered 
  brown 
  scales, 
  and 
  fine, 
  dispersed 
  punctures. 
  The 
  legs 
  

   are 
  well 
  clothed 
  with 
  scales, 
  and 
  each 
  femur 
  has 
  a 
  pale 
  ring 
  

   towards 
  the 
  apex. 
  

  

  The 
  specimen 
  from 
  which 
  this 
  description 
  is 
  taken 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  

   collection 
  of 
  the 
  British 
  Museum.

  Distinguished 
  at 
  once 
  from 
  the 
  preceding 
  by 
  the 
  more 
  elon- 
  

   gated 
  conical 
  tubercles 
  on 
  the 
  elytra, 
  the 
  anterior 
  lobe 
  of 
  the 
  

   thorax, 
  and 
  the 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  being 
  truncated, 
  and 
  by 
  its 
  

   larger 
  size. 
  

  

  The 
  head 
  and 
  rostrum 
  together 
  are 
  equal 
  to 
  the 
  thorax 
  in 
  

   length; 
  the 
  latter 
  is 
  slightly 
  curved 
  and 
  sub-depressed, 
  and 
  very 
  

   rugose 
  above 
  ; 
  a 
  somewhat 
  irregular 
  keel 
  runs 
  along 
  the 
  basal 
  

   half 
  Thorax 
  nearly 
  equal 
  in 
  length 
  and 
  breadth, 
  convex 
  above, 
  

   and 
  with 
  glossy 
  black 
  granules 
  scattered 
  over 
  the 
  surface; 
  the 
  

   anterior 
  lobe 
  projects 
  but 
  little 
  over 
  the 
  head, 
  is 
  truncated 
  in 
  

   front, 
  but 
  terminated 
  by 
  two 
  compressed 
  and 
  slightly 
  recurved 
  

   tubercles; 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  is 
  a 
  short 
  keel, 
  and 
  on 
  either 
  side 
  of 
  this 
  

   a 
  large 
  obtuse 
  tubercle, 
  besides 
  which 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  horizontally 
  com- 
  

   pressed 
  tubercle 
  on 
  the 
  lateral 
  margin 
  rather 
  anterior 
  to 
  the 
  me- 
  

   sial 
  line 
  ; 
  behind 
  this, 
  the 
  sides, 
  with 
  a 
  slight 
  outward 
  curve, 
  are 
  

   gradually 
  contracted 
  towards 
  the 
  base; 
  in 
  front 
  of 
  the 
  lateral 
  

   tubercle 
  the 
  sides 
  are 
  suddenly 
  much 
  contracted 
  and 
  emarginated, 
  

   so 
  that 
  the 
  anterior 
  lobe 
  assumes 
  a 
  subquadrate 
  form. 
  The 
  elytra 
  

   are 
  of 
  an 
  elongate 
  ovate 
  form, 
  rather 
  more 
  than 
  twice 
  the 
  length 
  of
