This species has very much the appearance of and is 

 closely allied to G7iaphaloryx squalidtis, Plope (tome?itosus, 

 Dej.), but is comparatively rather shorter, and the short 

 thick hairs or scales with which it is everywhere clothed 

 are of a paler colour. The head is transverse, Avith two 

 slightly raised circular spaces between the centre of the 

 occiput and the eyes, leaving a slight depression between 

 them; the mandibles are about the length of the head, 

 not much curved, the inner edge being nearly straight 

 and entire, except near the base, where there is a large, 

 strong, transverse tooth, obliquely truncate at the tip ; the 

 canthus of the eyes is more distinct and angulated in front 

 behind the insertion of the antenna than in G. squalidus ; 

 the prothorax has the lateral margins rather more convex 

 than in that species, and the middle of the disk has a 

 decided longitudinal impression. The elj'tra have the 

 suture raised, and each has two longitudinal elevated 

 costoe, which are thickly clothed with scales ; between the 

 suture and the first costa is one row, between the first and 

 second cost^e are three rows, and between the second costa 

 and the lateral margin are several less distinct rows of 

 small raised tubercles, forming strise separated at intervals 

 by impressions ; the interstitices are finely punctured and 

 squamose at the extremity of the elytra (which are there 

 denuded of scales), the subsutural and following strife are 

 seen forming deeply impressed Knes, the central tubercular 

 stride terminating at some distance from the extremity of
