One of the largest species in the genus, and with no near 
ally among the previously described Liparet?'!. I have three 
specimens before me (two of them belonging to Mr. Griffith), 
which appear to be of one sex, and the peculiar concavity 
running down the whole length of the ventral segments is 
certainly indicative of their being males. In one example 
the median projection of the clypeus is bifid, making the 
front of the clypeus 4-dentate.

(fronte pilis erectis vestita, lateribus piloso-fimbriatis,

lividis margine obscuro anguste cinctis ; antennis 9-

perspicue canaliculato, supra ut frons punctulato, antice 
sat angustato, lateribus leviter arcuatis, pilis lateralibus 
albidis ; elytris vix fortiter geminato-striatis, inter-

crebre subtiliter, pygidio minus crebre minus subtiliter, 
punctulatis ; tibiis anticis extus leviter 3-dentatis

Maris quam feminas antennarum flabello longiori, tarsis anti-

The uppermost tooth of the front tibiae is very 
feeble, and seems to indicate this as a transition form 
leading on to the Liparetri having less than three external 
teeth. I have two specimens before me, which I believe to 
be male and female, as the antennal flabellum is distinctlv
