? . Clypeus brocadly subtruncate at the apex, without 

 lateral teeth ; antennse gradually thickened to the ape^^, the

The type is still unique in the British Museum. In the 

 shape of the abdomen the species approaches Sericophorus 

 viridis, and is altogether much more robust than any other 

 species o£ Zoyphium.
