modice producto, apico traocato; pronoto antice subemarginato ; 



hypopygio quinquedentato. 

 $ . Tcstacco-bruiiuca ; capite fcrrugineo, longitudine sesqui latiorc, 



baud compresso, in medio lougitudinaliter sulcato, albo-piloso ; 



pronoto longitudine latiore, dense albo-piluso ; segment© mediano 



obliiiuo, nitido; abdomino nitido ; segmonto dorsali secundo

elongato, angusto. 

 Long., c^ 7-9 mm., $ 4-5 mm. 



(J . Antcniiie inserted further from each other than from 

 the eyes, a little shorter than the thorax without the median 

 segment, the interantennal prominence not developed. 

 Clypeus moderately produced^ strongly convex, truncate at 

 the apex, the lahrum exposed. Head and thorax closely but 

 not coarsely punctured ; abdomen shining and almost smooth, 

 the segments constricted at the base. Pronotum widely and 

 very shaliowly emarginate ; median segment rounded; scu- 

 telhim broadly truncate at the apex, almost flat; sixth 

 ventral segment with a spine on each side at the apical 

 angles; hypopygium truncate at the apex, with the usual 

 three spines, the apical spine the longest, but all rather 

 short, a lateral spine on each side a little before the apex. 



? . The first, third, and fourtk dorsal segments are 

 depressed broadly at the apex and sides, the raised basal 

 ])ortion is very strongly bilobed and rounded on each side. 

 Median segment obliquely sloped from the scutellum. The 

 pronotum is very densely clothed with whitish hairs, so as to 

 hide the sculpture; the head is much less thickly pubescent, 

 the hairs being confined to the front round the base of the 

 antennte and to the median line ; the eyes are separated 

 from the base of the mandibles by a distance exceeding their 

 own breadth. Ventral surface of the abdomen punctured, 

 most strongly on the fourth and fifth segments.
