Dark reddish brown, iu places almost black ; autenufc and 

 tarsi reddish. Densely clothed ■svith white and with fawn- 

 coloured scales. 



Head rather convex, with very dense concealed punctures ; 

 a shallow depression between eyes. Rostrum aboiit the 

 length of prothorax, not very wide, sides lightly incurved to 

 middle ; punctures concealed behind anteunse, iu front of 

 same numerous and rather small, but larger on sides than 

 along middle. Scape short, about tlic length of three 

 following joints combined, inserted one-third from base of 

 rostrum. Prothorax moderately transverse, base bisinnate 

 and about twice the width of apex, which is bifasciculate ; 

 with dense, round, concealed punctures. Elytra distinctly 

 wider than prothorax, base trisinuate, shoulders rounded, 

 sides parallel to apical fourth ; with rows of large, more or 

 less concealed punctures ; third interstice subtuberculate

Intermediate in shape between alternans and dorsalis, but 

 with very different clothing to that of either ; the eyes also 

 are more pointed in front than in any previously described 

 species. This, in the table * of allied genera, would refer the 

 specif^'S to Chimades, but the mesosternal receptacle is not 

 elevated above the metastcrnum as in that genus, the femoral 

 deutition is stronger, and the tibiffi are different. Neverthe- 

 less, it may possibly be regarded as a link indicating that 

 Pfdaoglymnia and Chimades should be united. The tibiae 

 are as described in Euoropis, but, as that genus was stated 

 to differ from Acalles only in its tibiae, whereas this species
