also rounded, than across the median part, base sinuate on each side; 

 scutellum broad, as wide at the base as long, cordate ; elytra broad, 

 short, rounded at the shoulders, ampliated laterally but a little nar- 

 rowed in the posterior part, very slightly convex, sub-costulate, and 

 covering the greater part of the propygidium ; pygidiurn triangular, 

 sloping ; pectus and prothorax densely pubescent ; anterior tibiae 

 bi-dentate outwardly and without any inner spur ; intermediate and 

 posterior ones without an oblique carina, apical part of posterior 

 tibiae ampliated, the two spurs inserted in the inner part close to 

 each other, but divaricating, compressed, and somewhat dilated, but 

 sharp at tip (<^) ; hind femora short, swollen; tarsi longer than the 

 tibiae, slender, claws long, curved, the anterior ones have a con- 

 spicuously long, curved basal tooth under the inner claw similar to 

 that of Macrophylla, but only a very small and basal one under the 

 outer, whereas in the case of the intermediate and posterior legs this 

 tooth, which is, however, smaller, is under the outer claw, the inner 

 ones being merely dilated at the base.

Male : Body snort, broad, fuscous with the elytra dark-chestnut 

 and clothed with a very dense, short, appressed light fulvous pube- 

 scence, the head is moderately pubescent, the prothorax, pectus, and 

 femora are clothed with a long, dense greyish-white pubescence, and 

 the abdomen with dense appressed hairs of the same colour, club of 

 antennae fulvous ; clypeus and frontal part covered with deep, round, 

 somewhat large, nearly contiguous punctures which are, however, 

 very much finer in the posterior part ; prothorax gradually ampliated 

 from the much rounded apical part to the rounded basal angle, and 

 very closely and deeply punctured, the punctures somewhat fine and 

 almost contiguous ; scutellum with numerous setigerous punctures ; 

 elytra plainly ampliated laterally towards the median part, and nar- 

 rowed towards the posterior, they have on each side four costules,. 

 and the outer margins are briefly ciliate ; propygidium finely punc- 

 tulate ; pygidiurn sloping backwards, deeply and closely punctured, 

 each puncture bearing a somewhat long, appressed greyish hair 

 similar to those clothing the abdominal segments, but on the exposed 

 part of the dorsal segments this greyish pubescence is longer and 

 denser than on the ventral; the latter are very closely punctured. 



In general facies this species resembles JEgostetha brachiata.
