 cedentes conjuiicti sat breviori ; pygidio quani maris

 perspicue cariuato. Long.. 11J,-15 1.; lat., 6-7^, 1. 

 Near the preceding ( II . tricJiopyf/a ), but differing from 

 it by its glabrous and differently sculptured pygidium, its 

 more closely punctured elytra, more convex pronotum, differ- 

 ently proportioned antennal joints., etc.

 dilutioribus : corpore subtus femoribusque longe pilosis ; 

 palpis maxillaribus sat crassis, articulis 2" -i" que longi- 

 tudine inter se sat aequalibus, 4:" quam hi longiori fovea 

 magna impresso ; antennis 9-articulatis, articulis 3" 4" que 

 longitudine inter se sat aequalibus, clava 4-articulata 

 quam articuli 2-5 conjuncti vix breviori ; clypeo sat brevi, 

 antice sat reflexo, minus crebre sat fortiter punctulato ; 

 fronte coiifertim subtilius punctulata : protliorace quam 

 longiori ut 17 ad 9 latiori, antice minus angustato, suj^ra 

 subtilius minus crebre punctulato, lateribus sat arcuatis 

 sat anguste marginatis, basi vix sinuata, angulis posticis 

 rotunaato-obtusis : elytris leviter geminato-striatis, fortius 

 sat crebre punctulatis : pygidio nitido, sj^arsim subtiliter 

 punctulato : tarsorum posticorum articulis basalibus 2 

 inter se sat gequalibus. Long., 9^ 1. : lat., 4f 1. 

 A more robust and dark-coloured species than its allies in 

 the third group ; easily distinguishable by the characters cited 

 in the tabulation. Its sex is doubtful, but T think it a fe- 

 male, as the male is likely to have a longer antennal flabel- 

 lum.
