Celebes (Wallace!). 



The thorax is large, very opaque, and the larger punctures 

 scattered over it are very indistinct, the liinder angles are obtuse, 

 not prodnced baekwards bat a little turned upwards. 



I have seen but a single male individual of this species; in it 

 the Upper tooth of the front tibiae is not placed quite so near to the 

 middle one as in the allied species here described, so that two niinute 

 teeth or serrations separate these two larger teeth ; the apical spur 

 is remaikable in its form , its extremity ^being euiarginate , so that 

 both its inner and outer angles are acute; the tubercle at the inner 

 extremity of the front tibiae is also remarkably developed, so that the 

 inner margin of the front tibia shewes a remarkable curve at the ex- 

 tremity, as in G. sinuatus c-

Menado (Wallace!). 



Surface of the head rather strongly scnlptured. Thorax opaque, 

 finely coriaceous , and with nümerous larger but obsolete punctures, 

 with the sides prominent and rounded in the middle and not sinuato 

 behind the middle, the hinder angles obtuse. Klytra with a very in- 

 distinct metallic finge, finely coriaceous and with scattered minuto 

 shining spccks, the striae fine but distinct. 



A bingle specimen is all I have seen; it has the apical teeth of 

 the tibiae elongato and approximate, the two Upper ones however se- 

 parated by two sraall serrations ; the specimen appears to be a female ; 

 though very close to G. calcar I have not considered myself justified 

 in treating it as identical therewith. The form and size of the two 

 species is very similar, but the scuipture and form of the thorax are 

 different.
