i, p. 28, pi. 2, fig. 2 (1853). 

 ^Egosoma lacertosum, Pasc. A. M. N. If. (3) xix, p. 413 (1867). 



c? . Ferruginous red and opaque, the costse of the elytra nitid 

 and of a brighter red colour. TJpperside almost bare of pubescence. 

 Antennae a little longer than the body, the third and a few of the 

 following joints tipped with black at the apex, the third rather 

 more than twice as long as the first. Froth orax with a sharp 

 angular process at the base on each side ; unarmed at the anterior 

 angles ; lateral edge distinct from the base to the anterior margin ; 

 notum very finely granulate. Elytra each with four costae similar 

 in length and position to those of J2. sulcipenne ; the intervals 

 between the costae covered with very minute brownish granules ; 

 apex subtruncate near the suture, armed with a short spine at the 

 suture. Last ventral segment subtruncate at the apex. 



$ . Antennas reaching to the posterior third ef the elytra. 

 Prothorax with a reddish callosity that occupies the space between 

 the prosternal suture and the lateral edge. Fifth ventral segment 

 truncate at the apex. Ovipositor short and compressed. 



Length 25-30 ; breadth 7-9 mm.

40. JEgosoma terminate, sp. n. 



c? . Eeddish brown, elytra fulvous. Upperside with a very short 

 sparse pubescence, underside with a longer and denser pubescence. 

 Antennae a little longer than the body ; third joint twice as long 

 as the first and about equal in length to the fourth and fifth 

 united. Prothorax with a strong angular process at the base on 

 each side and a tooth at each of the anterior angles ; lateral edge 

 distinct from the base to the anterior tooth : notum finely granu- 

 late, a few coarser granules on each side of the middle. Elytra 

 each with two distinct dorsal costse, the inner one extends for 

 about three-fourths the length of the elytron from the base, a 

 distinct lateral costa and a short, very feebly raised, indistinct 

 costa on the posterior half between the lateral and the outer 

 dorsal costa; apex obliquely subtruncate towards the suture, 

 armed at the suture with a rather long, sharp spine. 



This species closely resembles _/". bowringi in size and colour, 

 but differs as follows : a stronger process at the base of the pro- 

 thorax on each side ; the body above with a much sparser and 

 shorter pubescence; the inner dorsal costa of each elytron prolonged 

 farther back, its apex less rounded and armed with a longer 

 spine. 



Length 29 ; breadth 8 mm.
