This differs from all other species laiowii to me by the 

 l)lack colour of the legs as well as the antennae. The 

 pronotum is rather short, with the sides nearly straight 

 behind and the marginal groove greatly curved and not 

 abruptly bent towards the hind angle. The male has the 

 elytra elongate, the 9th joint of the antenna swollen, pear- 

 shaped and a little hollowed beneath, the middle and hind 

 femora and tibiae gently curved, the hind femur bearing 

 a strong but broad tooth behind (see page 4T, fig. 4) 

 and the first ventral segment very long and produced 

 backwards in the middle.

Only a single specimen of this has been found. It is of 

 very elongate form, but with a short transverse prothorax, 

 whose sides are nearly straight behind and the hind angles 

 nearly right angles. The puncturation is very minute 

 and scanty but the pubescence fairly thick. The male 

 characters are again very distinctive. The swollen 9th 

 joint of the antenna is very short and transversely globular 

 and the hind legs are long, with the femur slightly arched 

 and the tibia slender throughout, strongly curved in its 

 posterior half and armed internally a little behind the 

 base with a conspicuous blunt tooth (see page 41, fig. 6).
