EXARTEMATOPTJS. 171 



Oblong-ovate, broad, subdepressed, punctate-strate, impubescent, 

 of a brown- castaneous colour. Head very short and much depressed, 

 almost vertical ; above the labrum is a triangular transverse depres- 

 sion ; immediately above the insertion of the antennae are two sub- 

 circular depressions, and between them is a longitudinal medial fovea, 

 which joins a distinct transverse depression above them ; eyes large 

 and subprominent, situated at the base of the head ; the surface is 

 finely and sparingly punctate and rufo-flavous, the medial depression 

 being suffused with fuscous. Thorax transverse, considerably broader 

 than the head (when viewed transversely, depressed at a considerable 

 angle to the plane of the elytra) ; the anterior margin is emarginate, 

 the anterior angles being depressed and prominent; the sides are 

 broadly marginate, and in outline subsinuate ; near the base are two 

 obsolete depressions : the surface is distinctly and sparingly punctate, 

 of a rufo-flavous colour ; at the anterior margin (immediately above 

 and somewhat between the eyes) are two subcircular minute black 

 spots ; behind them (at mid distance between them and the posterior 

 margin) are two others, occupying the obsolete depressions ; the lateral 

 margination also is broadly black. Scutellum triangular, impunctate, 

 fuscous-black, glabrous. Elytra broader than the thorax, robust, 

 subdepressed, punctate-striate (the punctures being deep and large, 

 the striae more obsolete, and both being almost obsolete near the 

 apex) : at the humeral angles, and also at the apex, large irregularly 

 defined patches of testaceous colour extend transversely from the 

 lateral margins to the suture ; the outline of that at the base is irre- 

 gularly transverse, containing two insulated black maculae (the one 

 near the suture, the other at the extreme angle of the shoulder) ; the 

 apical marking contains a single macula at its centre ; between these 

 two (apical and humeral) patches is a third, at the mid -margin of the 

 elytra, unconnected with, and much smaller than either, immaculate, 

 and like them testaceous ; the castaneous coloration of the elytra 

 between this and the other patches is darkly suffused with fuscous. 

 Abdomen ferrugineous. Antennas, robust, and apparently subincras- 

 sated ; in the imperfect example before me, the five basal joints are 

 fulvous and the sixth (which is slightly broader than the fifth) black. 

 Legs rufo-ferrugineous ; the apex of the postical femora being at its 

 outer side suffused with rufo-fuscous.
