G28 Major T. Broun on some 



large, of Irregular form, subquadrate; basal punctures small, 

 lateral fovese deep, not prolonged beyond the middle. Elytra 

 suboblong, distinctly narrowed before the middle, a third 

 longer than the thorax, indistinctly punctate ; sutural strioe 

 deep throughout, with a small basal puncture alongside each, 

 the dorsal striae half the whole length, one with a single basal 

 puncture, the other with two minute ones. Hind body rather 

 longer than the elytra and quite as broad, its first visible 

 segment rather shorter than either of the following two. 



Antennce as long as the head and thorax, evidently thick- 

 ened from the fifth joint onwards, with elongate pubescence ; 

 basal joint twice as long as broad, second oviform, third of 

 nearly similar form but only half as large, fourth subglobular, 

 fifth rather larger than either of the following two, which 

 are also subglobular, eighth slightly larger, ninth and tenth 

 transversely quadrate, the terminal one conical and large. 



Underside castaneo-rufous, with elongate yellow pubes- 

 cence ; segments 2-4 nearly equal, with deep sutures, fifth 

 rather shorter, sixth hardly as long as the preceding one, 

 slightly but widely emarginate ; at one side of its extremity 

 a slender spiuilbrm process extends backwards, its fellow of 

 the other side having been detached along with the gummed 

 portion of the supplementary segment. The remaining process 

 is visible from above after being remounted on cardboard. 



The body tapers anteriorly, but interruptedly. The 

 thorax is oviform rather than cordate, so that this species 

 should be placed at present near 6'. occipitalis. The frontal 

 channel is elongate-oval, and the terininal ventral segment 

 remarkable.

Elongate, shining, light rufous^ abdomen and antennae 

 pale castaneous, legs fulvescent, palpi yellow ; pubescence 

 elongate, suberect, yellowish grey. 



Head nearly as large as the thorax, obliquely narrowed 

 anteriorly, its sides behind the moderately large eyes nearly 

 straight, with rounded hind angles ; it is finely and irregularly 

 punctate, rather more distinctly on the somewhat flattened 

 tubercles ; frontal channel deep, extending to beyond the 

 back of the eyes, narrower in front than behind, occipital 

 foveas distinct. Thorax subcordate, strongly rounded and 

 widest near the middle, as much narrowed in front as behind.
