anterior femora and tibite are rough and beset beneath with 

 short acute spines. The posterior femora are shining, spa- 

 ringly and obscurely punctured, with a few short acute spines 

 beneath. The posterior tibiae are moderately strongly, but 

 not very closely, punctured on the outer side, with a few very 

 small teeth below. Prosternal process densely and mode- 

 rately finely punctured, strongly margined on each side. 

 Mesosternum rather more finely punctured and deeply im- 

 pressed on each side. Metasternum pubescent, densely and 

 finely punctured, except a large triangular medial patch, which 

 is shining and very delicately punctured. Abdomen shining 

 in the middle, somewhat opaque at the sides.

Macrotoma inscripta, sp. n. 



Fuscous, with the elytra brown, dusky at the base. Head 

 coarsely punctured between the eyes, with a longitudinal, 

 smooth, scarcely impressed space in the middle, but with a 

 deep incision between the antennal tubers ; the vertex of the 

 head is coarsely but not closely punctured, the sides finely 

 granulose. The thorax is somewhat dull, about one fifth 

 broader at the base than at the apex, densely and finely 

 punctured, with two triangular, shining, strongly punctured 

 impressions on the disk, nearly united to each other and to a 

 smooth line which proceeds from the shining punctured space 

 at the base of the thorax. On each side there is a small 

 rugose spot, and at the end of the smooth basal space there is 

 a short rugose line directed obliquely forwards. 



Length 22 lines.

This species is close to the preceding, but is smaller. The 

 vertex of the head is not closely granulose as in that species, 

 and the impression between the eyes is much less marked. 

 The antennse are very similar, but the basal joint is relatively 

 shorter, about one third longer than broad, and not spined 

 beneath ; the third joint is less rough, with fewer and smaller 

 spines below, and is only equal in length to the fourth, fifth, 

 and about one third of the sixth joints taken together. Tlie 

 metasternum has scarcely any pubescence, and the punctured 

 portion is separated from the smooth space by a still more 

 sharply defined line ; indeed the line dividing them is 

 slightly raised. The posterior femora have only a few small 

 spines, and those on the tibia3 are very short and are seen with 

 difficulty. One or two very small spines may also be traced 

 on the upper edge of the femora.
