palpi cylindrical ; clypeus moderately long, separated from the frontal 

 part by a sharp transverse keel, blunt in front with the outer angles 

 rounded and the margins renexed, slightly declivous in the anterior 

 part, the labrum short, narrow, not incised, head plainly carinate 

 above the eyes, frontal part with a moderately raised transverse ledge 

 separating it from the vertex ; antennae 9- jointed, second joint 

 nodose, third a little longer and narrower than fourth, which is 

 shaped like an elongated obliquely truncated cone, fifth and sixth 

 ■compressed but with their inner side projecting very little and fitting 

 close against the three joints of the club, which are as long as the 

 pedicel, but plainly spatulate ; prothorax ampliated laterally and 

 sub-aculeate in the centre, posterior angles rounded, base sinuate ; 

 elytra not broader at the shoulders than the base of the prothorax, 

 but very clearly ampliated from the humeral part, covering half the 

 propygidium, and with neither suture nor costule ; anterior tibiae 

 tri-dentate outwardly, the basal tooth very weak, posterior and 

 intermediate with an entire oblique ciliate keel, the posterior dilated 

 at apex, and with the two spurs sharp ; anterior tarsi somewhat 

 short, posterior moderately long, closely ciliate underneath, basal 

 joint much shorter than the second ; claws short, three-toothed, the 

 upper tooth is sharp and curved underneath, the median one rounded 

 at the apex but somewhat curved like the apical one and not so long, 

 and the sub-basal tooth is similar to, but slightly shorter than, the 

 intermediate one ; pygidium of the male as broad as long, somewhat 

 drawn forwards. 



PSEUSTOPHYLLA PRETORIANA, 11. Spec. 



Testaceous, with the frontal part fuscous and the prothorax 

 testaceous-red ; clypeus sparsely punctate, labrum densely 

 pubescent, clypeal keel very high, transverse ; frontal part 

 deeply and closely punctate and having a slight, median 

 longitudinal raised line, sharply carinate laterally from the 

 angle of the clypeal suture to the vertex the suture of which 

 is very distinct, the head is glabrous except the base which 

 has a broad fringe of short, appressed yellow hairs ; prothorax 

 convex in the posterior part, somewhat angulate laterally in the 

 middle, sparingly ciliate laterally and along the base, glabrous on 

 the upper side and covered with deep, round punctures separated 

 by an interval narrower than their diameter, and having a plain 

 median longitudinal impressed line ; scutellum cordate, punctulate, 

 nearly glabrous except the basal part ; elytra plainly ampliated 

 laterally at a short distance from the shoulders, slightly depressed
