372 DR. G. A. K. MARSHALL ON THE SPECIES 



half the lengtli of the body (6 : 11), rather strongly and closely 

 punctate in the basal half and finely and sparsely so beyond, with 

 a smooth central line in the basal half, a shallow punctate lateral 

 furrow (nearly as long as the scrobe) bounded below by a low 

 carina, below which is an impuncbate and longitudinally striolate 

 area, the scrobe passing partly beneath the rostrum at the base 

 and extending slightly beyond the antennse ; $ , much longer 

 than the body (3 : 2), less strongly punctate at the base than in 

 the d and extremely minutely punctate beyond the antenute, the 

 lateral fui-row only one-third the length of the scrobe, and the 

 striolate area beneath it lacking. Antennce inserted at ( d" ) 

 or far behind ( $ ) the middle of the rostrum, the scape not 

 reaching the eye ; joint i of the funicle longer than 2, joints 

 3 and 4 shorter and subequal, 5 and 6 again a little shorter and 

 equal, 7 equal to 3 ; the club with brown pubescence, joint 1 dis- 

 tinctly longer than 2, and 2 than 3. P 7'othor ax duS, long as broad, 

 broadest at the base, the sides gently rounded, the apical constric- 

 tion very slight ; the base not marginate and but little produced 

 in the middle, the apical margin feebly arcuate, the postocular 

 lobes feeble ; the upper surface with regular reticulate punctures 

 and a very short central smooth line, the punctures on the sides 

 of the prosternum with rather broader intervals. Scutellum 

 small, bare, usually with a transverse shallow impression. Elytra 

 longer than broad (13 : 10), the lateral margins deeply sinuate 

 near the base, the apices separately rounded ; the basal sutural 

 impression deep and not quite symmetrical so that interval 1 on 

 the right elytron is narrower than that on the left, strise 9 and 

 10 practically reaching the base; the intervals transversely 

 ruo-ose and on the black areas with short dark recumbent setae, 

 which are longer and slightly raised on the apical third of the 

 suture. L^gs very long and slender, especially the front femora 

 in the 5 , the hind femora exceeding the apex of the elytra and 

 bea,ring a tooth that is no larger than that on the mid femora. 

 Venter with segment 1 distinctly shorter than 2 behind the coxa?, 

 the apical angles of the latter moderately produced ; segment 5 

 of S broadly sinuate at the apex and with a broad central 

 depression, flanked on each side at the apex by a dense erect tuft 

 of reddish-yellow hairs, the pygidium being densely clothed with 

 similar erect hairs ; segment 1 of cj" very broadly but shallowly 

 impressed. 



Length, 8-4-8-8 mm. ; breadth. 4-4-4 mm.

The Marta,pura 6 differs from the others in having a white 

 spot at the base of interval 2, and the- transverse band and the 

 apical patch on the elytra linked together along intervals 8 

 and 9.
