222 071 some neio Species of Goleoptera. 



Prothorax longitudine latior, basi profunde sat anguste constrictus, 

 disco ante hoc sulcum magis elevato quam in St. Murrayi, Chevr., 

 et St. amcena, Westw., antiee sulculo transverse recto supra in 

 medio haud retrorsum arcuato, dente laterali robusto, supra 

 punctis rudibus ac linea mediana antiee sensim impressa instruc- 



' tus ; nigro-velutiuus, suleo basali et utrinque macula antemedian a 

 suboblonga transversa luteis. 



iScutellum albo-luteum, rotundatum. Eljtra basi prothorace (cum 

 dentibus) vix latiora, humeris leviter productis rotundis ; in 

 utroque elytro tribus maculis lacteis : 1" laterali ad humerum 

 incipiente retrorsum latiore, totum latus occupante, limbo tenui 

 excepto, intus pone medium emarginata ; 2"* basali a humero 

 versus suturam descendente, suturam ac medium elytrorum haud 

 attingente, parum latiore quam spatium nigrum intra maculas 

 1"™ et 2''"' ; 3" suboblonga dorsali postmediana. 



Processus prosternalis angustus, postice declivis, versus basin 

 rotundato-declivis, sulcatus, antiee fere perpendicularis, apice 



, rotundato autem parum prodncto. Processus mesosternalis etiam 

 sat angustus, sujDra parum convexus, apice leviter productus ac 

 medio anguste paulo emarginatus, cum processu prosternali pilis 

 longis vestitus. Abdomen lateribus luteo-ochraceum, medio 

 glaucum. 



Long. 30 mm., elytr. 21, lat. 10. 



Stanley Pool, Congo. One female. 



When a series of this peculiar species is procured, we shall 

 probably find that the colour of tlie toraentum of the under- 

 side is liable to variation. 



The elytra appear less triangular than in the allied species 

 [St. amcena., Westw., crux-mgra, Hope, Murrayi^ Chevr., &c.), 

 as they are narrower at rhe base. 



The structure and pattern of the pronotum, the form and 

 pattern of the elytra, and tlie structure of the sternal inter- 

 coxal processes distinguish this species from its allies.
