104. Mr. B. P. Uvarov on 
pronotum half as high again as long, impressed in the middle, 
with the transverse sulci very distinct; their fore angle 
obtuse, the hind angle straight and rounded, the lower 
margin slightly ascending in its fore half, very obtusely 
sinuate behind its middle, the hind margin practically 
vertical. Prosternum with its fore margin incrassate. 
Mesosternal lobes (in the female) distinctly transverse, with 
the inner angles practically straight but widely rounded ; 
mesosternal interspace distinctly broader than one of the 
lobes and about twice as broad as it is long. Metasternal 
interspace decidedly longer than its width in front, narrowed 
posteriorly, but the lobes still broadly separated from each 
other. Klytra scarcely extending beyond the hind knees, 
gradually narrowed from the middle towards the apex, 
which is oval; the neuration very remote (fig. 3), the 
Brainia hirsuta, gen, et sp. v. 
extreme base of the elytra only being coriaceous. Wings a 
little shorter than the elytra, hyaline. Hind femora mode- 
rately incrassate, gradually narrowed towards the apex. 
Hind tibize somewhat widened apically, without outer sub- 
apical spines; both inner spurs about twice as long as the 
outer ones, thick, regularly bent. Subgenital plate (of the 
female) twice as long as broad, with the apex bisinuate. 
Lower valves of the ovipositor small, with the apical portions 
small and narrow ; the upper valves larger and thicker, with 
thick blunt apices.
