sub-contiguous punctures set closer to each other in front than 

 behind and somewhat strigillate on the sides ; scutellum strigillate 

 punctate ; elytra very little broader at the base than the prothorax 

 at its widest part and very elongated, the suture is conspicuously 

 raised, and at a short distance from it is a deep sulcate stria, 

 the interval being very slightly raised, the supra-humeral sulcate 

 stria is very shallow, and does not reach beyond the middle, on the 

 basal part the surface is covered with a network of elongate sub- 

 foveate punctures turning beyond that part into a fine sub-longi- 

 tudinal strigillation ; pygidium finely aciculate, somewhat convex 

 at the base, and with a short, apical, ill-defined median longitudinal 

 ridge ; abdomen deeply and numerously punctate ; pectus closely 

 punctured and briefly pubescent ; inner apical part of hind tibiae 

 developed in a short rectangular process at the apex of which are 

 inserted the thickened spurs, the inner of which is truncate ; the 

 anterior tibiae are plainly sinuate inwardly at the base ; this last 

 feature, coupled with the shape of the inner apical part of the hind 

 tibiae, leads me to believe that in the unknown male these parts are 

 not simple. 



Length 22 mm. ; width 8 mm.

Rev. and Mag. Zool., 1877, p. 336. 



Male : Dark chestnut-brown, moderately shiny ; clypeus some- 

 what more dilated at apex than the other species, anterior margin 

 very deeply sinuate in the centre ; head and clypeus foveate punc- 

 tate, the punctures elongated and separated by transverse walls ; 

 prothorax as broad as long, moderately ampliate rounded laterally in 

 the centre, the posterior angles not rounded, but not projecting 

 much, covered with round, even punctures, separated by a smooth 

 interval, on the base are two marginal moderately broad impres- 

 sions, but no median discoidal longitudinal line ; scutellum punctu- 

 late ; elytra elongated, broader than the prothorax at its widest 

 part, bi-costulate on each side next to the suture, and with only two 

 plain striae, and the usual interrupted supra-lateral costule, the 

 surface is covered with moderately closely set punctures round at 

 the base and along the sides, and cicatricose in the intervals between 

 the costules ; pygidium vertical, but slightly convex at apex, closely 

 aciculate, and with a longitudinal moderately raised median line ; 

 abdomen and legs aciculate- striate ; pectus and femora densely
