giuate in the middle ; the latter with the median line distinct near 

 the base. Elytra testaceous red with the basal margin black, 

 subnitid, thinly clothed with hair, and irregulai'ly punctate, with

 Head and thorax black, punctate, and covered with long 

 reddish yellow somewhat recumbent hair ; the former with the 

 clypeus acute and prominent at the angles, and reflexed along 

 the entire margin ; the latter with the median line distinct

Head black, punctate, and clothed with long yellow hair, 

 with the clypeus reflexed, and armed in front with three teeth. 

 Thorax black, opaque, subsericeous, finely punctate and moder-

 the punctures rather shallow and the geminate strife tolerably 

 distinct. Pygidium and under side of body black and moderately 

 pilose. Legs piceous.

 other respects I see nothing which should remove it from that 

 section of Liparetnis which has the antennse eight-jointed.
