shining, lateral margins broadly pale tawny, disk reddish brown, 
shading into black, medial stripe more or less distinct, testaceous; 
hindmargin nearly straight. Elytra obliquely truncate towards 
sutural margin, in female extending to the metanotum, in the

This species apparently resembles Platyzosteria truncata, Br., 
but differs in the abdomen not being pale bordered. Of the latter 
species only the female has been described, the elytra of which 
are less abnormal in form than those of the male ; it should pro- 
bably be removed from the genus in which it is placed and united 
with Zemnelytra on that account. 
The legs of Z. subtruncata are testaceous, but the coxa 
blackish, bordered with pale tawny, and the tarsi paler. The 
abdomen beneath is deep shining black and concolorous.
