ano-ulated before the middle, nearly parallel behind, the hind 

 angles are right angles, and the base is scarcely lobed. The 

 scutellum is minutely punctured, rather short and blunt. 

 The ely»tra are deeply pnnctate-striate, with the subsutural 

 interstice broad and generally completely, but sometimes 

 incompletely, divided by a line of deep punctures. The 

 pygidium is very smooth and shining, with fine and rather 

 scanty punctures. The mesosternal process is siiort and 

 conical, sometimes very acute, sometimes scarcely produced. 

 The sides of the pygidium and the body beneath are thinly 

 clothed with rather long yellowish hair. The front tibia is 

 strongly bidentate. 



(J. The lower lobe of the inner anterior claw is very 

 broad and sharply angulated at the middle of the lower edge 

 and the upper lobe is very small. The club of the antenna is 

 half as long again as in the female. 



This variable species has sometimes a deceptive resem- 

 blance to the last one described, but may always be distin- 

 guished by its dark head, relatively longer prothorax, and 

 especially by the form of the mesosternal process. This 

 varies greatl}^, but is always short and straight and' uot 

 slender and curved.

 colour, the head and scutellum more or less coppery, the
