Form broadly elongate and depressed. Clypeus semicircular, 

 with broad reflexed margin and strongly carinate suture. Eyes 

 prominent, moderately large. Labrum (fig. 59 c) short, with a 

 strongly developed, curved median process, acuminate at the apex, 

 broad and flat at the base, its broadest part a little beyond the point 

 of origin and its lateral margins a lirtle raised. Mandibles not 

 meeting, strongly developed, not toothed, the apical part bent at 

 a right angle. Maxilla 3-dentate, the innermost tooth small and 

 sharp ; palpi long and slender. Labium short, notched in the 

 middle. Antenna 10-jointed, with the club long in the male. Legs

Scaphwrhinadoretus bimaculatus, Ohaus,* 1. c. p. 509. 



Pale testaceous, shining, with the vertex of the head and the 

 extreme margins of the clypeus, prothorax and elytra dark brown, 

 and a large patch on each side of the pronotum, and sometimes 

 the dorsal part of the elytra, reddish chestnut. The legs and 

 lower surface are pale. The upper surface is very thinly clothed 

 with minute white seta3, arranged in longitudinal rows upon the 

 elytra. The pygidium is clothed with longer, erect but not thick 

 hair, and the lower surface is almost naked. 



The clypeus and forehead are rather coarsely and rugosely 

 punctured. The pronotum is short, rather convex, with deep, 

 thinly but uniformly distributed punctures ; the lateral margins 

 are strongly and regularly rounded, and the hind angles are 

 scarcely traceable. The scutellum bears a few indistinct punc- 

 tures, and the elytra are coarsely and moderately closely punctured,
