300. BOTHEIDERES MasTERSII. n. sp. 



Length 2| lines. 

 Head black and thinly punctured. Thorax black, subnitid, 

 nearly square, slightly broader in front than behind, finely punc- 

 tate, slightly advanced at the anterior angles, and strongly and 

 acutely p jinted at the posterior, with a large deep and continuous 

 groove in the middle, enclosing a large oblong space of the same 

 level as the rest of the thorax, and with an extension of the 

 groove on the median line at the base, almost to the extremity of 

 the basal lobe. Elytra red with black suture, nitid, and very 

 finely punctato-striate, with the interstices raised into very narrow

Brown, subopaque. Head coarsely punctured, with two very

 Thorax considerably longer than the width, narrower behind than 

 in front, slightly produced at the anterior angles, square and not 

 pointed at the posterior angles, lobed at the base, and coarsely 

 punctate, with two deep horse-shoe shaped impressions in the 

 middle, one near the base with the open part towards the 

 apex, the other some distance from the apex, with the open part 

 towards the base, the space enclosed by each and intermediate 

 between the two being smooth and almost without punctures. 

 There are also two or more somewhat rugose impressions ex- 

 tending from the hinder impression towards the extremity of the 

 basal lobe. Elytra punctato-striate, and punctate in rows on the 

 intei^stices, which are elevated, the alternate ones being strongly 

 costiform.
