the upper edge ; the middle femora thick and rugose ; the 

 middle tibiae short, and with two lobes on the outer edge ; 

 the hind legs are slender and nearly simple ; the fore tarsi 

 have the three basal joints crested above, the basal joint 

 being short, especially in the middle legs.

This species, of which I have only seen a single female, 

 has the body of a dull luteous colour destitute of gloss ; it 

 is elongate, subcylindrical, with the abdomen broadest. The 

 head is moderately elongated behind the eyes, with a few 

 minute granules and an indistinct row of slightly raised 

 tubercles across the hind margin. The antennoe are slender, 

 and longer than the fore legs ; the thoracic segments are 

 granulose, the hinder part of the metathorax and the abdo- 

 minal segments nearly smooth ; the metathorax is scarcely 

 half the length of the mesothorax, and its posterior division 

 is nearly three times the length of the anterior. Tlie ab- 

 domen is widened in the middle, finely margined, and the 

 three terminal segments are scarcely longer than the sixth 

 segment ; the terminal one is subdcpressed and eniarginate 

 at its extremity, with the very short broad styles visible at 

 its ])osterior angles ; the operculum is gradually swollen in 

 the middle, and extends to the extremity of the body. The 

 legs are rather short and thick, strongly angulated ; the 

 fore femora with the upper edge wide and very thin ; the 

 four ])osterior femora are armed near the tips beneath with 

 a small angulated lobe ; the basal joint of the tarsi is about 

 as long as the three follovring joints in all the feet.

Long, rather robust, subcylindrical, sparingly granulose 

 on the upper surface, and with a few very small granules 

 on each segment beneath ; entirely fulvous-brown. The 

 head almost square, with two erect spines between the eves, 

 and the hind part of the crown of the head tubercled. 

 Antennse nearly as long as the fore legs ; meso- and meta- 

 thorax moderately dilated at the insertion of the legs ; ab- 

 dominal segments with a slender elevated line running 

 down the middle of the back, more distinct at the hinder 

 margin of each segment ; the three terminal segments 

 scarcely differ from the preceding excc]it in being shorter, 

 the eighth being the shortest ; the ninth is somewhat 

 broadly, but not deeply, eniarginate on the hind margin, 

 exposing a broad conical anal lobo, as well as the ex- 

 tremity of the operculum ; the two caudal styles are very 

 small and lateral ; the operculum is rather swollen beyond 

 the middle, its extremity slightly extending beyond the ex- 

 tremity of the ninth dorsal segment. The legs are rather 

 short; all the femora are somewhat thickened, and have 

 the under side near the extremity armed with two or three 

 small spines ; the anterior tarsi have the basal joint rather 

 elongated, and compressed at its extremity.
