L. J^ mill. 



Uval, convex, blacky and shining; the liead, frontal stria 

 complete, punctulation rather sparse and interspaces with 

 microscopic points; the thorax, marginal stria complete and 

 finely crenellate behind the head, punctured somewhat like 

 the head, but the points are more distinct and many are 

 confluent, along the basal edge there is a row of" punctures ; 

 the elytra, stria3, inner humeral fine and complete, 1—3 are 

 complete, 4 crenellate on the apical halt" and bent inwards at 

 the base, 5 apical half crenellate, rather widening out before 

 the middle and bending to the suture at the base. The fifth 

 stria3 appear to meet at the suture and together form a com- 

 plete arch. The sutural stria is composed of three small 

 tlursal tubercles, witli one point anterior to them, and in their 

 line are some a[)ical points; the propygitlium is transversely 

 punctured in the middle; the pygidium is irregularly and 

 sparingly punctate ; the presternum, lobe punctate and 

 niarginate, keel smooth, stria joined anteriorly and sinuous at 

 the sides ; the mesosternum is feebly sinuous and the marginal 

 stria widely intei-rupted, closely behind the anterior iti^h^e. 

 there is an arched stria which continues in a parallel line 

 along the sides to the base of the metasternum, and there is 

 no visible suture between the sterna ; the anterior tibiie are 

 feebly 3-dentate. 



This species resembles G. striatisternus^ Lew., in that the 

 meso- and metasterna are connate and in the remarkable 

 lateral stria which is comnion to both.
