tlie outer niargiiip, the posterior port, or almost tlie whole, of 

 the pygidium, the lower surface of the body, the auteuuaj, 

 femora, and front and middle tibia?. 



The body is elongate, rather parallel-sided, closely punc- 

 tured and scarcely shining above. The head is densely 

 rugosely punctured, with the clypeus short and nearly straight 

 in front. The pronotum is finely and densely punctured, with 

 the sides obtusely angulate in the middle, the hind angles 

 nearly right angles, the base not margined and very gently 

 trisinuate. The scutellum is closely punctured at the sides. 

 The elytra are deeply striated, with coarse confused punctures 

 in the stria? and upon the alternate interstices, the remaining 

 intervals being narrow, convex, and minutely punctured. 

 The pygidium and lower surface are very thinly hairy and 

 the metasternum is finely and closely punctured. The front 

 tibia bears two strong teeth ])laced rather close together, and 

 the front and middle feet have the larger claw bifid. 



The antennal club is rather long in the male, and the tibial 

 teeth are short and very sharji. 



Three specimens taken b}' Verschraeghen at Kurseong are 

 males and have the pygidium transversely stiiolated and 

 broadly black at the base, while four specimens from the 

 Calcutta Museum taken at Kurseong and Siliguri are all 

 females, witii the pygidium densely pitted and yellow, except 

 for a very narrow black basal line.
