74 Mr. G. J. Arrow on new Species of 



with a narrow transverse zigzag yellow Land at the middle 

 o£ the elytra, sometimes breaking up into three small spots. 



The body is elongate-oval, shining and moderately convex. 

 The clypeus is short and rounded and rugosely punctured, 

 the forehead closely and strongly punctured in front and thinly 

 behind. The pronotum is rather finely and closely punctured, 

 with the sides narrowed to the front, the front angles acute, 

 the hind angles nearly right angles, the base trisinuate and not 

 margined. The scutellum is well punctured and the elytra 

 rather unevenly punctate-striate, with a broad irregularly 

 punctured subsutural space. The punctures disappear 

 towards the apices, but the whole surface of the elytra is 

 sprinkled with very fine scattered punctulations. The pygi- 

 diura is very finely but not closely transversely strigose, with 

 a few long hairs towards the apex. The metasternum is 

 rugose and clothed with short erect pubescence and the 

 abdomen is striolated at the sides. The front tibia is strongly 

 bidentate and the larger claw of the front and middle feet 

 is bifid. 



(J. The upper surface is more minutely punctured and 

 shilling than in the ? , the club of the antenna is longer, 

 and the terminal tooth of the front tibia much shorter and 

 sharper. The front claw-joint bears a sharp basal tooth. 



? . The terminal tooth of the front tibia is very broad and 

 blunt.
