H. LUBATUS, sp.nov. 
Sat elongatus ; postice leviter dilatatns ; sat nitidus ; femi- 
gineus, antennis palpisque testaceis ; pilis brevibus adpressis 
testaceis vestitus ; capite rugulose crebre, pi’otlioi’ace (hoc postice 
fortiter producto) sat fortiter sat sparsim, elytris fortiter sat crebre, 
punctulatis. [Long. 4, lat. 2 lines. 
The clypeus is evenly margined and slightly truncate in front, 
its surface not quite forming a continuous even plane with the rest 
of the head, its puncturation closer and not so coarse as that 
Ijehind the impressed clypeal suture which is slightly arched and 
tolerably distinct. The pi’othorax is three-fifths again as wide as 
its length down the middle, and its base is nearly three-fifths again 
as wide as its front, which is widely but not very strongly emar- 
ginate with sharp moderately produced angles ; its sides diverge 
with very slight curvature to the base with which they form a 
rounded angle ; the base is scai’cely bisinuate but extremely 
strongly produced backward in a middle lobe. The transverse 
wrinkling of the elytra is well-marked and there is no trace what- 
ever of striation ; the lateral fringe is not carried round the apex, 
and there is little indication of a membranous apical border. The 
pygidium is not puncculate but granulate, each gx-anule bearing a 
fine erect hair. The underside (especially the metasternum) is 
strongly and rather closely punctured on the sides, more feebly 
and sparsely in the middle. The hairs in the rows on the ventral 
segments are long and fine and continue strongly across the middle. 
The hind coxa; are decidedly shorter than the metasternum, the 
hind femora moderately wider than the intermediate, their innei’ 
Hi)ex rounded and scarcely prominent. Claws dentate near apex.
