size and shape are similar, but it is a little broader, more 
convex, and less shining, the upper surface being closely 
punctured, the head and pronotum deeply and strongly. 
The abdomen is punctured and pubescent beneath. 
Petaloscelis monommoides, sp. 0. 
Niger, nitidus, abdomine pedibusque rufis, antennis piceis, basi et 
apice rufescentibus; sat longe ovalis, parum convexus, capite 
fortiter punctato, oculis grosse granulatis, haud magnis; pronoto 
subtiliter punctato, lateribus paulo fortius, marginibus lateralibus 
fere rectis, angulis omnibus acutis; scutello fere semicircular ; 
elytris subtiliter punctato-striatis; pedibus sat validis, tibiis 
apicem versus paulo dilatantibus; antennis validis, articulis 
tribus ultimis fortiter transversis. 
Long. 5 mm.; lat. max. 2°75 mm.

The single specimen has been presented to the British 
Museum by Professor R. Thaxter. It resembles P. anthra- 
cinus, but is smaller, with longer and stouter legs and 
antennee, which are also paler in colour. It is very smooth 
and shining above, with the elytra very lightly punctate- 
striate; but the head and the sides of the pronotum are 
much more strongly punctured than in P. anthracina, and 
the eyes are larger and more coarsely facetted. The third 
joint of the antenna is as long as the two succeeding ones 
together, the fourth to the seventh are round and bead-like, 
and the last three more than twice as broad as they are long. 
The prosternum is carinate anteriorly and dilates from the 
middle to the posterior edge, the lateral striz almost 
meeting in the middle. Tle mesosternum bears an incised 
semicircular line.
