New and little-known Lagriidae and Pedilidae. 217 



Three males and one female. A long, robustly-built, 

 brown insect, with a red head and testaceous limbs (the 

 posterior legs excepted), the prothorax greatly developed, 

 much rounded at 1 he sides, roughly sculptured, and flat- 

 tened on the disc (so as to appear obsoletcly margined 

 laterally), the apical joint of the antennae unusually stout. 

 the eyes very large, the elytra long, finely punctattf-striate. 

 This insect is as large as .1/. robusta, Motsch., from Ceylon ; 

 but it is more elongate, the elytra are more finely punctate 

 and more distinctly striate, etc. .1/. amplithorax, Pic, 

 from Banguey, may be an allied smaller form.

 head, in profile.) 



cJ. Elongate, robust, rather narrow, moderately shining (when 

 denuded), thickly clothed with long, adpressed, brownish hairs, the 

 basal portion of the head with long, fine, projecting setae and a 

 matted tuft of curled fulvous hairs in the centre; reddish-brown, the 

 metasternum darker, the head rufescent, the palpi, mouth-parts, 

 antennae, and legs (a blackish patch on the posterior femora, and the 

 infuscate posterior tibiae and first tarsal joint, excepted) testaceous. 

 Head long, rather narrow, considerably developed behind the eyes, 

 rounded at the sides posteriorly, very sparsely punctate; occipital 

 groove deep, abruptly limited anteriorly, and interrupted by a 

 transverse, lamellifonn prominence, which is partly hidden by the 

 tuft of matted fulvous hairs; eyes extremely huge, oval, separated 

 by less than half their own width; antennae somewhat closely set 

 with elongate, projecting, bristly hairs, very Blender, moderately 

 long, joint 9 not longer, and very little stouter, than S [10 and 11 

 missing]. Prothorax elongate-oval, slightly broader than the head, 

 flattened and subsulcate on the disc, obliquely compressed on the 

 flanks posteriorly, closely, roughly punctate, the basal groove deep. 

 Elytra elongate, parallel, a little wider than the prothorax; densely 

 scabroso-punctate, and also finely punctato-striate to near the apex, 

 the interstices slightly rai<ed externally. Pygidium feebly emar- 

 ginate at tip. Legs long, stout; basal joint of anterior tarsi much 

 thickened.
