504: Major T. Biouu on new 



as far as the extremity of the third visible segment, from 

 which point to the base of the elytra the shape is almost 

 uninterruptedly cuneiform ; the second exposed segment is 

 larger than the firsts the third still larger; fourth and fifth 

 deflexed, the former barely half the length of the third. 



Legs moderately elongate ; posterior tibife slender near the 

 base, but more distinctly curved and dilated outwardly, below 

 the middle, than the other pairs. 



* Antennoe as long as the head and thorax, with elongate 

 slender hairs ; basal joint thick, rather longer than broad, 

 oblong-oval, second of nearly similar form but smaller ; 

 joints 3, 4, and 6 very small and subglobular, fifth rather 

 larger but of the same shape ; seventh and eighth broader 

 than long, but scarcely double the size of the sixth, the 

 ninth and tenth broader, strongly transverse, eleventh 

 subconical, evidently longer than tenth. 



Underside obscurely fulvescent, the apex of the second and 

 third segments and an oblong spot on the fourth infuscate; 

 pubescence distinct, greyish. Head with an incurved de- 

 pression before the eyes. Prosternum strongly incurved in 

 front. Metasternuni rather short and convex. Abdomen 

 elongate, nearly half the entire length of the body, basal 

 segment hidden by the femora, second and third about 

 equal, both rather large, fourth quite a third longer than 

 either of the preceding ones, gradually expanded apically, 

 fifth half the length of the fourth ; the sixth nearly as long 

 as the fifth at the sides, its deep, somewhat angulate emargi- 

 nation occupied by the broadly rotundate supplementary 

 segment. 



The connate antennal tubercles at once remove this from 

 the immediate neighbourhood of 1582 and 2473 ; the latter, 

 8. gracilis, is most like this species, which, however, has a 

 much shorter and differently formed head and shorter thorax, 

 the elytra are rather longer, more narrowed towards the 

 base, and the usual dorsal striae are represented by minute 

 punctiform impressions only, the hind body is shorter and 

 wedge-shaped, and the antenuse are more elongate and differ 

 structurally.
