5 . Head, prothorax above and below and the anterior two- 

 thirds of the elytra carmine-red ; scutellum, apical third of the 

 elytra and body beneath, excepting the prothorax, black ; legs and 

 autenna3 black or dark brown, with the first antennal joint more 

 or less red at the base. Head glabrous and opaque; faintly 

 reticulate-punctate above. First 

 joint of antennae densely and very 

 finely punctulate, the others very 

 faintly covered with dark pubes- 

 cence. Prothorax opaque, covered 

 with very fine delicate ridges which 

 run together so as to form a reti- 

 culation ; the disc strongly raised 

 in the middle and furnished with 

 three more or less glossy tubercles ; 

 the median tubercle narrow, elon- 

 gate and impunctate, the lateral 

 y. 74 two, which lie a little in front of 



Euryphagus lundii, Fab. the middle, rounded and punctate. 



Scutellum rugulose-punctate. 

 Elytra entirely opaque, rather densely punctate, the punctures 

 visible only on the red anterior portion, not on the posterior 

 black part, the latter rather densely covered with very short black 

 pubescence. Mesothorax, metathorax and abdomen covered faintly 

 with grey pubescence. Legs glabrous, glossy, very minutely and 

 very sparsely puuctulate. 



c? . Head and prothorax of a dull red, slightly purplish, colour ; 

 elytra entirely fulvous-red ; scutellum black ; antennae glossy, the 

 first joint red, the rest black ; body beneath dull red, with the 

 sides of the meso- and metathorax black ; femora red, except at 

 the base ; tibiae and tarsi dark brown or black. Head subnitid at 

 the sides, opaque above ; the clypeus and occiput rather densely 

 punctate, the front almost impunctate. First antennal joint 

 sparsely punctate. Prothorax very densely rugulose-punctate ; 

 the disc less strongly raised than in the $ , but similarly provided 

 with three subnitid tubercles, and with an obtuse, feebly elevated 

 ridge behind each of the dorso-lateral tubercles. Elytra less 

 closely punctured than in the $ . The male differs further from 

 the female by the structural characters pointed out in the 

 description of the genus. These characters, such as the great size 

 of the head and mandibles, are most pronounced in large fully 

 developed specimens, but are less obvious in males of minor 

 development.
