thicker ; the colour is brick-red, shining; the prothorax has only a 
fringe of flavescent distant hairs along the anterior and lateral parts, 
and a dense one along the base; the semicircular clypeus and the 
frontal part between the clypeal suture and the frontal ridge which 
is somewhat emarginate in the centre, is impunctate except for a few 
isolated punctures on each side of the frontal part, the frontal ridge 
is immediately followed by a groove, and the vertex, like the frontal 
part is almost impunctate, except for a few lateral punctures; the 
punctures on the glabrous prothorax are fine and not closely set, the 
nearly impunctate scutellum is very hairy, and the punctures on 
the elytra are fine and somewhat closely set, the propygidium, 
pygidium, abdomen, and pectus are as in G. dispar; the hind legs 
are also as in that species, but the inner median tooth is reduced to 
a triangular projection.

Plate XLVL, fig. 50. 
Male: Testaceous, with the head sometimes ferruginous, shining ; 
clypeus somewhat blunt in front, but the angles being broadly 
rounded it has a slightly arcuate appearance, the clypeus and the 
narrow interspace between the clypeal suture and the sharp frontal 
suture, which is plainly incised in the centre, and also the vertex, 
are deeply and closely punctured, in addition to the frontal ridge 
there is also on the vertex a slight transverse, ridge-like rise ; pro- 
thorax ampliated laterally and rounded in the median part, basal 
angles rounded, covered in the anterior and median parts with round, 
irregular deep punctures more scattered in the posterior part where 
they bear each a sub-erect, long flavous hair, the anterior and lateral 
margins have a fringe of similar hairs, and the base is thickly but 
more briefly pubescent, the pubescence appressed as in the scutellum ; 
elytra sinuate laterally before the median part, ampliated thence to 
the posterior part, without costules or striz except the sutural stria, 
and finely and closely, yet deeply punctured; pygidium plainly 
convex and impunctate like the exposed part of the propygidium ; the 
two basal segments of the abdomen densely pubescent laterally, the 
others with a few fine hairs ; pectus very densely hairy ; tarsi long, 
slender, median inner part of hind tibie very slightly angular. 
Female: Entirely like the male, and distinguished only by the
