  sides

  tarsi 
  somewhat 
  short 
  and 
  robust, 
  posterior 
  ones 
  not 
  longer 
  

   than 
  the 
  hind 
  tibiae 
  ; 
  claws 
  unequal, 
  parallel, 
  inner 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  

   anterior 
  tarsi 
  and 
  outer 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  intermediate 
  ones 
  cleft 
  at 
  the 
  

   tip 
  ; 
  each 
  coxae 
  produced 
  behind 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  in 
  a 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  long, 
  

   but 
  nearly 
  always 
  very 
  distinct 
  lobate 
  process 
  ; 
  mesosternum 
  not 
  

   projecting 
  in 
  front. 
  

  

  The 
  species 
  are 
  usually 
  covered 
  with 
  short, 
  appressed 
  hairs, 
  at 
  

   times 
  somewhat 
  squamiform, 
  but 
  never 
  dense 
  enough 
  to 
  hide 
  com- 
  

   pletely 
  the 
  teguments 
  ; 
  several 
  species 
  have 
  series 
  of 
  remote, 
  upright 
  

   hairs 
  on 
  the 
  elytra, 
  and 
  the 
  lateral 
  margins 
  have 
  a 
  fringe 
  of 
  bristly 
  

   ones 
  always 
  longer 
  in 
  the 
  anterior 
  part. 
  They 
  are 
  fouud 
  on 
  trees 
  

   and 
  are 
  crepuscular. 
  Near 
  Kimberley 
  I 
  found 
  many 
  examples 
  

   hidden 
  a 
  few 
  inches 
  under 
  the 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  ground, 
  at 
  the 
  foot 
  of 
  

   the 
  trees 
  dotting 
  the 
  landscape. 
  The 
  genus 
  has 
  a 
  wide 
  range. 
  It 
  is 
  

   represented 
  in 
  the 
  whole 
  of 
  Africa, 
  in 
  Madagascar, 
  Arabia, 
  India, 
  

   China, 
  Java, 
  Manilla, 
  &c, 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  also 
  one 
  species 
  in 
  Southern 
  

   Russia. 
  The 
  African 
  species 
  are 
  very 
  much 
  alike, 
  but 
  all 
  those 
  I 
  

   know 
  can 
  be 
  somewhat 
  easily 
  recognised 
  by 
  the 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  genital 
  

   armature 
  of 
  the 
  male.
