Maris quam femime antennarum clava magis elongato (quam 

 articuli ceteri conjuncti vix breviori) segmento ventrali 

 penultimo breviori. Long., 6 J — 7h L; lat., 3J — 4f 1. 



Agrees with P. tasmanica, Germ, in its labrum projecting in a 

 plane parallel with, but considerably below the level of, that of 

 the clypeus and its remarkably dilated (externally bidentate) 

 front tibia which resembles those of the Dynastid genus 

 Cheiroplatys. The above two characters in combination I take 

 to be the essential characters of Pachygastra. The antennae 

 differ much from those of P. tasmanica (which have a 6-jointed 

 club, at any rate in the male), but the difference is not greater 

 than occurs in the antenna? within the limits of allied genera 

 (e g. Colvochila). Specifically it is much smaller than tasmanica 

 and differently colored, with its elytra strongly punctulate- 

 striate.
