  separated 
  from 
  the 
  head 
  by 
  a 
  transverse 
  suture, 
  sub-parallel 
  laterally, 
  

   deeply 
  emarginate 
  semi-circularly 
  at 
  tip 
  and 
  with 
  the 
  angles 
  sharply 
  

   acuminate, 
  reflexed, 
  and 
  projecting 
  transversely; 
  prothorax 
  oblique 
  

   laterally 
  from 
  the 
  apex 
  to 
  the 
  median 
  part, 
  emarginate 
  in 
  the 
  

   posterior, 
  and 
  with 
  the 
  base 
  moderately 
  arcuate 
  ; 
  scutellum 
  very 
  

   long, 
  narrow, 
  and 
  sharp 
  at 
  tip 
  ; 
  elytra 
  strongly 
  narrowed 
  laterally 
  

   from 
  the 
  humeral 
  part 
  towards 
  the 
  apex, 
  but 
  not 
  sinuate, 
  and 
  covering 
  

   the 
  dorsal 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  abdominal 
  segments 
  ; 
  propygidium 
  uncovered 
  

   by 
  the 
  elytra, 
  pygidium 
  vertical 
  in 
  the 
  male 
  ; 
  anterior 
  tibiae 
  strongly 
  

   bi-dentate 
  in 
  the 
  male 
  and 
  sharply 
  angular 
  above 
  the 
  second 
  tooth, 
  

   the 
  first 
  and 
  second 
  teeth 
  are 
  remote, 
  set 
  nearly 
  at 
  right 
  angles, 
  the 
  

   apical 
  one 
  is 
  nearly 
  twice 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  other, 
  and 
  both 
  are 
  slightly 
  

   curved 
  backwards 
  at 
  the 
  tip 
  ; 
  the 
  posterior 
  femora 
  and 
  tibiae 
  are 
  very 
  

   swollen, 
  the 
  intermediate 
  and 
  hind 
  tarsi 
  are 
  thick, 
  especially 
  the 
  

   latter, 
  the 
  fifth 
  joint 
  of 
  the 
  posterior 
  ones 
  is 
  very 
  robust 
  and 
  shaped 
  

   as 
  in 
  some 
  species 
  of 
  Pachy 
  enema 
  ; 
  claws 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  and 
  inter- 
  

   mediate 
  legs 
  double 
  and 
  cleft, 
  the 
  outer 
  claw 
  being 
  only 
  half 
  the 
  

   length 
  of 
  the 
  inner 
  one 
  ; 
  posterior 
  claws 
  double, 
  but 
  with 
  the 
  inner 
  

   one 
  very 
  minute, 
  and 
  the 
  outer 
  simple 
  and 
  robust 
  ; 
  tibiae 
  without 
  

   apical 
  spur 
  in 
  both 
  sexes. 
  

  

  The 
  general 
  appearance 
  of 
  the 
  only 
  species 
  known 
  is 
  not 
  unlike 
  

   that 
  of 
  Pachycnema.

  Male 
  : 
  Black, 
  with 
  the 
  elytra 
  flavescent 
  or 
  light 
  testaceous 
  yellow, 
  

   and 
  the 
  hind 
  legs 
  occasionally 
  red 
  or 
  reddish 
  brown 
  ; 
  the 
  prothorax 
  

   has 
  a 
  broad 
  margin 
  all 
  round 
  of 
  bluish 
  opaline 
  scales 
  and

  clothed 
  

   on 
  the 
  disk 
  with 
  flavescent, 
  dense, 
  short 
  hairs 
  ; 
  the 
  scutellum 
  is 
  

   squamulose 
  and 
  the 
  elytra 
  have 
  a 
  very 
  broad 
  sutural 
  band 
  of 
  bluish 
  

   opaline 
  ovate 
  scales 
  reaching 
  from 
  base 
  to 
  apex 
  ; 
  the 
  pygidial 
  part 
  

   and 
  the 
  under 
  side 
  are 
  covered 
  with 
  dense, 
  similar 
  scales, 
  which 
  are 
  

   also 
  somewhat 
  densely 
  sprinkled 
  on 
  the 
  intermediate 
  and 
  hind 
  

   femora 
  ; 
  the 
  head 
  is 
  very 
  rugose, 
  and 
  clothed 
  with 
  short 
  yellowish 
  

   hairs, 
  the 
  apical 
  angles 
  of 
  the 
  clypeus 
  project 
  outwardly 
  as 
  a 
  trans- 
  

   verse 
  tooth 
  ; 
  the 
  prothorax 
  is 
  closely 
  scabroso-punctate 
  and 
  is 
  not 
  

   grooved 
  longitudinally 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  ; 
  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  clothed 
  with 
  

   appressed, 
  dense, 
  yellowish-white 
  hairs, 
  and 
  they 
  have 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  

   four 
  distinct 
  rows 
  of 
  white, 
  long 
  bristles 
  ; 
  posterior 
  tibiae 
  compressed, 
  

   robust 
  ; 
  intermediate 
  and 
  posterior 
  femora 
  robust, 
  especially 
  the
