 tured ; club fusiform, apparently of one joint, the end slightly 

 pointed.

 thorax, gradually bent and defiexed at the tip, the sides com- 

 pressed and channeled from before the eye to within a short 

 distance of the base of the mandibles, upper part more or less 

 rounded ; the under side, except just at the tip, thickly clothed 

 with close thick-set hairs, much like a tooth-brush, the middle 

 line seemingly with fewer hairs or perhaps free from them. 



Eyes largish, oblong, nearly straight behind, somewhat pointed 

 above, slightly rounded in front where the beak comes, and 

 nearly as much separated below as above, the space between 

 them being considerable. 



Thorax subovate, convex all round, upper surface behind some-

 each of the elytra with a large 

 dusky brown patch intersected 

 by a cross, which at the top 

 emits two white branches, con-

 base and sides ; pygidium with 

 a large oval patch on the mid-

 the sides of three of the seg-

 blackish brown patch ; some of the mesosternal plates punctured 

 and marked with a largish pale brown patch. 



The femora and tibiae of each leg thickly furnished on the m-
