184 Mr. J. S. Baly's descriptions of Halticince. 



Thorax nearly twice as broad at the base as long; sides 

 straight, converging from base to apex ; anterior angle 

 broadly and obliquely truncate, the outer angle of the 

 truncation produced laterally into a short acute tooth; 

 basal margin oblique and slightly sinuate on either side, 

 the medial portion obtusely rounded ; upper surface trans- 

 versely convex, coarsely and deeply, but not very closely 

 punctured. Elytra oblong, attenuated towards the apex, 

 broader than the thorax, strongly punctate-striate, the 

 strise slightly sulcate ; interspaces remotely impressed with 

 fine punctures. Apex of outer border of hinder tibia 

 denticulate, the denticulations very short, irregular.
