Head with median line very narrow; clypeus with very 

 dense punctures of irregular sizes, suture semi-circular, both 

 suture and punctures partially concealed by clothing. 

 Antennae distinctly passing apex of elytra, fourth to tenth 

 produced on one side of apex, eleventh about one^-third longer 

 than tenth. Prothorax about twice as long as the apical 

 width, which is much less than that of the base, sides angu- 

 larly produced in middle, surface irregular across middle, 

 and more or less corrugated elsewhere. Elytra distinctly 

 wider than prothorax, parallel-sided from basal third to near 

 apex, where each is evenly rounded, with the suture strongly 

 spinose; with subgeminate rows of moderate-sized punctures, 

 irregular towards base and very small and not geminate 

 posteriorly ; each with three feebly-elevated lines and traces 

 of others. Legs rather long and thin. Length, 22 mm.

An almost black species, but with conspicuously white 

 clothing; on the elytra the pubescence appears to be in regular 

 fine lines, with the margins more densely and evenly clothed 

 (but the basal half of the elytra of the type is much abraded) ; 

 on the prothorax there is a conspicuous glabrous stripe on 

 each side, and some glabrous spots on the disc. The elytra 

 have the tips evenly rounded, but the strongly-spinose suture 

 readily distinguishes from strigosiis. The eleventh joint of 

 antennae, about one-third from apex, appears to have a fine 

 suture, slightly notched at its upper edge, indicating an 

 approach to the twelfth joint of Scolecobrotvs more distinctly 

 than on most species of the genus.

d 1 . Bright reddish-castaneous, prothorax and sCutellum 

 somewhat darker. Densely clothed with white pubescence ; 

 hind femora shallowly grooved along under-surface, with 

 conspicuous clothing (partly ochreous) filling the groove of 

 each. 



Head with median line deep and abruptly terminated 

 near base, which is densely granulate-punctate; clypeus with 

 some large punctures at sides, small and dense elsewhere, 

 suture deep, wide, and semi-circular. Antennae with at 

 least two joints passing elytra, fourth to tenth joints triangu- 

 larly produced on one side at apex, eleventh about one-fourth 

 longer than tenth. Prothorax not much longer than greatest 

 width, sides gently incurved between base and middle, and 

 then strongly narrowed to apex, which is not much more 

 than half the width of base; strongly transversely corrugated,
