cheek, so that the projecting lateral angle is aright angle ; in 

 front there is a very slight triangular emargination, not an 

 incision. Rather finely rugose, with the vertex smooth. 



$ . Head with the horn as in G. lunaris, but smooth in 

 front. Thorax as in G. lunaris, but more convex, obliquely 

 narrowed in front before the anterior truncature, which is 

 consequently narrower than in lunaris. The disk is smooth, 

 with a strongly impressed punctured median line, with a few 

 fine punctures by the middle pair of tubercles ; the raised 

 part has four tubercles in front and is relatively shorter and 

 broader than in lunaris ; the middle pair of tubercles are 

 close together and in the smaller males entirely disappear, so 

 that there is a simple truncate median lobe ;. the sublateral 

 tubercles are relatively less developed than in lunaris and 

 are a little less forward ; the anterior declivity is smooth, or 

 with a few punctures in the minor variety; the obtuse carina} 

 limiting the declivity converge below ; the deep cavity on 

 each side is moderately punctured, the anterior angles strongly 

 punctured, the sides are moderately distinctly punctured, and 

 in one specimen are rather strongly punctured. 



? . Head with a short trapezoidal horn, emarginate at its 

 apex. Thorax strongly punctured in front and at the sides, 

 the posterior part of the disk smooth ; with an obtuse curved 

 carina in front ; the very transverse anterior declivity smooth. 



The striaa of the elytra are not only unusually deep, bat 

 the oval punctures in them are rather strong, and crowded 

 together so as to form a perfect chain.

impresso, lobo mediano quadridenticulato, dente laterali com-

This species has the form and appearance of G. lunaris. 

 The head has a rather wide and not deep triangular emar- 

 gination in front, with a slight sinuosity on each side. The 

 elytra are as in G. lunaris, but the punctures in the striae are 

 perhaps a trifle more distinct, but not so strong as in G. orion.
