tuberculate. Elytra (2°40 mm. long) slightly convex, pa-

the margin of the prothorax), between sutural interval and 
first carina, as also between first and second carine, approxi-

Burma: Tharrawaddy ( (G. Q. Corbett), 1 ex. (type) in my 
collection. Calcutta: Eden Gardens, “at light” (4. 1.

joined to teoth of mentum by a fine ridge: paraglosse rather 
longer than ligula, projecting obliquely outwards, narrow at 
apex but meeting at base above ligula, densely fringed with 
hairs in front. Mawille straight, obtuse at apex, densely 
fringed with hairs on inuer margin, Palpi thick: maw/llaries 
glabrous, last joint obliquely truncate at apex, a little longer 
than preceding one: Jdabia/s with last joint rounded at apex,

sete on inner margin. Jentum moderately excised, with a 
wide, almost quadrate tooth, very obtusely angled at apex ; 
finely carinate along median line, lobes rounded, slightly at 
sides, strongly at apex, extending beyond epilobes, rather 
concave beneath: paragenee toothed and emarginate. AZan- 
dibles moderately curved, about as long as head, smooth, a 
ridge on upper surface trom base to middle, each with an

as next four joints together, 2 halt as long again as 3,4 a 
little shorter than the rest, which are appoximately equal 
to 3. Head very large, nearly smooth, longer than prothorax, 
frontal impressions wide and shallow, sides deeply longi- 
tudinally impressed above eyes, gene strongly dilated. Pro- 
thurue cyathiform, very wide and short, dentate at hind angles, 
and shortly produced in middle, so that the base appears 
to be bidentate on each side. ‘H/ytra short, flat on disk, 
shoulders carinate and dentate, interval 7 sharply carinate
