234 Mr. H. W. Bates' supplement to the 



than of Broscosoma, but it undoubtedly belongs to the 

 latter genus. The head is similar in form to that of 

 B. Baldense, but it is smooth and polished, with the two 

 furrows on each side over the base of the antennas more 

 clearly marked, and the mandibles and palpi more elon- 

 gated and porrected. The antennae are much thinner, 

 and the fine pubescence does not begin before the 4th 

 joint. The thorax is globose-ovate and highly polished, 

 equally narrowed behind and before ; the base forms a 

 thickened scabrous ring, separated from the convex disk 

 by a groove, the clavate femora contrasting strongly with 

 the slender tibiae and tarsi. The legs are long and 

 slender, and the three dilated joints of the male anterior 

 tarsi are slender oblong-c[uadrate, clothed beneath with 

 fine hairs.
