  densely 
  squamose 
  but 
  has 
  a 
  denuded 
  round 
  patch 
  on 
  the 
  stemmata; 
  

   the 
  fore 
  tibiae 
  are 
  tri-dentate 
  outwardly, 
  but 
  the 
  basal 
  tooth 
  is 
  small, 
  

   the 
  anterior 
  and 
  intermediate 
  claws 
  are 
  single 
  but 
  cleft 
  ; 
  the 
  hind 
  

   femora 
  are 
  slender, 
  densely 
  scaly, 
  simple, 
  with 
  the 
  trochanters 
  not 
  

   spinose 
  ; 
  hind 
  tibiae 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  femora, 
  not 
  much 
  wider 
  at 
  apex 
  

   than 
  near 
  the 
  base, 
  simple, 
  not 
  mucronate, 
  very 
  densely 
  hairy 
  

   inwardly, 
  and 
  without 
  an 
  apical 
  spur. 
  

  

  Female 
  : 
  Like 
  the 
  male, 
  but 
  with 
  the 
  scales 
  distinctly 
  flavescent,

   yellow 
  ; 
  hind 
  tibiae 
  with 
  a

  Female 
  : 
  Like 
  Burmeister 
  I 
  know 
  only 
  the 
  female 
  of 
  this 
  insect, 
  

   and 
  my 
  example 
  is 
  also 
  of 
  Drege's 
  collecting. 
  Unlike 
  other 
  females 
  

   of 
  this 
  genus 
  the 
  fore 
  tibiae 
  are 
  distinctly 
  bi-dentate 
  ; 
  the 
  body 
  

   is 
  black, 
  covered 
  with 
  very 
  short 
  greyish 
  hairs 
  on 
  the 
  head 
  and 
  

   prothorax, 
  the 
  latter 
  being 
  fringed 
  with 
  the 
  customary 
  bristly 
  mar- 
  

   ginal 
  long 
  hairs, 
  and 
  the 
  median 
  sulcus 
  and 
  the 
  sides 
  have 
  a 
  few 
  

   scattered, 
  elongate 
  whitish 
  scales, 
  which 
  sparsely 
  cover 
  the 
  scutellum 
  ; 
  

   the 
  elytra 
  are 
  distinctly 
  bi-costulate 
  on 
  each 
  side, 
  the 
  outer 
  costa 
  

   disappearing 
  past 
  the 
  median 
  part, 
  and 
  the 
  space 
  between 
  the 
  costae 
  

   is 
  filled 
  with 
  not 
  closely 
  set,- 
  elongate 
  white 
  scales, 
  the 
  whole 
  

   pygidial 
  part 
  and 
  under 
  side- 
  are 
  densely 
  scaly, 
  the 
  scales 
  being 
  

   elongate 
  ; 
  the 
  hind 
  legs 
  are 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  preceding 
  species, 
  but 
  the 
  tibiae 
  

   are 
  more 
  dilated 
  at 
  the 
  apex, 
  and 
  have 
  a 
  distinct 
  apical 
  spur; 
  the 
  

   clypeus 
  is 
  attenuate 
  laterally, 
  bluntly 
  triangular 
  and 
  slightly 
  reflexed 
  

   at 
  tip.

  Gymnoloma 
  inglomosa, 
  n. 
  spec. 
  

  

  Black, 
  with 
  the 
  elytra 
  chocolate-brown, 
  opaque; 
  there 
  are 
  a 
  few 
  

   sparse 
  scales 
  along 
  the 
  margin, 
  and 
  also 
  in 
  the 
  median 
  longitudinal 
  

   groove 
  of 
  the 
  prothorax, 
  very 
  few 
  only 
  along 
  the 
  elytral 
  suture, 
  

   but 
  the 
  whole 
  under 
  side 
  is 
  clothed 
  with 
  white 
  scales, 
  and 
  the 
  propy- 
  

   gidium 
  is 
  also 
  densely 
  scaly, 
  but 
  has 
  a 
  longitudinal 
  denuded 
  band 
  ; 
  

   legs 
  black 
  ; 
  in 
  shape 
  this 
  species 
  resembles 
  G. 
  atomaria 
  ; 
  the 
  clypeus 
  

   is 
  sim 
  ilar 
  ; 
  the 
  prothorax 
  is 
  more 
  densely 
  villose 
  ; 
  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  

   slightly 
  yet 
  plainly 
  costulate, 
  and 
  covered 
  with 
  contiguous, 
  somewhat
