Prosternal plate with 3 + 3 teeth, these much as in platycephalus 



(pi. 27, fig. 17). 



Dorsal plates furrowed from the third caudad ; margined from the 

 seventh caudad ; the margining sulcus of the seventh short. All plates 

 smooth. Last dorsal plate with caudal margin strongly convex as 

 shown in plate 27, figure 19. 



Ventral plates with paired furrows from the sixth or seventh 

 caudad. these in general not extending caudad of the middle of the 

 plate, more distinct in posterior region. Last ventral plate with a 

 single distinct, median longitudinal sulcus; posterior margin con- 

 spicuously and somewhat angularly excavated (pi. 27, fig. 18). 



Coxopleural processes long, exceeding the last ventral plate by 

 more than its length, subparallel or bending but little toward each 

 other ; each with but a single spine distally. a little proximad of which 

 on dorsal side is another large spine with a second much smaller dorsal 

 spine farther proximad ; laterally a single spine ; dorsal line convex, 

 much as in rubripes (pi. 27, fig. 20). 



First two pairs of legs with two tarsal spines each, the others to 

 and including the twentieth with tarsal spine single. 



Distal process of femur of anal legs of but moderate size. Femur 

 with two spines on ventral surface ectally and one. mesally ; two spines 

 on mesal surface and two along mesodorsal line. 



Measurements. — Length. 57 mm. 



Locality. — India : Coonoor. Two specimens.

Description. — Body deep chocolate to black, the keels yellow ex- 

 cepting anteriorly. Legs light brown, with a fulvous background often 

 showing. Antennae dark chocolate or black. 



Head with vertigial sulcus very deep down to level of antennal 

 sockets. Densely shortly pilose over lower and lateral regions, more 

 coarsely so above. Antennae long and slender. 



Metazonites densely granular both dorsally and below the keels. A 

 distinct transverse sulcus on metazonites from the third caudad, also 

 an obscurely indicated one on the second. A series of short setae along
