208 EMBRIK STRAND, 
yellowish brown; nervures black, ferruginous at the base, the stigma 
ferruginous. 
Length 20 mm. 
9. Mandibles stout, not bidentate; elypeus short and broad, 
very shallowly emarginate at the apex. Antennae shorter than the 
head; the scape finely punctured, only a little shorter than the 
flagellum. Head thick, convex, about half as broad again as long, 
rounded at the posterior angles, the eyes oblique and almost touching 
the base of the mandibles. The whole head evenly, but not very 
closely, punctured, with a longitudinal frontal sulcus.. Thorax and 
median segment rather sparsely punctured; the pronotum more than 
half as broad as the head, a little broader than long, the anterior 
margin straight, an obscure impressed line from the anterior margin 
to the middle, an oblique depression on each side from the middle 
of the lateral margin to the posterior margin. Median segment 
about half as long as the pronotum, broadened posteriorly and 
obliquely truncate, the surface of the truncation almost smooth. 
Abdomen ovate, convex, sparsely punctured; the basal segment 
with a very narrow transverse groove close to the apex, the second 
dorsal segment transversely rugose between two carinae, the space 
between the apical carina and the raised apical margin depressed 
and smooth; fifth ventral segment rugose. 
Pygidium narrow at the base, truncate posteriorly, the surface 
of the truncation rather small and ovate with raised margins, a 
slightly concave depression occupying the whole breadth of the 
pygidium and as long as broad situated just before the base of the 
truncation. 
Black; the mändibles and antennae fuscous; a large spot on 
each side above the base of the antennae extending to the eyes, 
the sides of the head broadly, more narrowly continued on the 
posterior margin and narrowly interrupted on the vertex, a short 
oblique line on each side near the vertex, the anterior angles of 
the pronotum and a curved band extending from them a short 
distance along the anterior margin and then curved and converging 
towards the middle of the pronotum, a broad band near the apex 
of the first dorsal abdominal segment, a large spot on each side of 
segments 2—5, the femora beneath and the anterior tibiae beneath 
yellow; the tibiae, tarsi and the femora above light ferruginous 
brown. 
Length 12 mm.
