Head with very small punctures at base, dense and of 
moderate size between eyes.  Clypeus semicircular, front 
as on preceding species, except that the punctures are some- 
what smaller. Abdomen small, curved to its tip. Hind 
corae very large, their sides fully twice the length of the 
metasternum ; hind femora and tibiae stout; front tibiae 
unidentate; front tarsi stout, fourth joint not passing tibiae, 
claw joint stout, claws very unequal, other claws very long 
and thin. Length, 5-525 nim. 
the prothorax and elytra. The hind coxae seem to project 
almost as the drums of many species of cicadas; the longer 
claw of the front tarsus is almost as long as those of the others, 
but is irregularly widened towards its base, the smaller claw 
1s scarcely half its length, and is much thinner, the middle 
claws although both long and thin are unequal, one being 
- distinctly shorter, thinner, and less curved than the other. 
he elytra are black, or almost so, except for a transverse 
Space on each side of the base, each space sometimes continued 
for a short distance near the suture, the hind tibiae are deeply 
i and the head slightly infuscated; the 
abdomen is usually darker than the metasternum ; the 
antennae are entirely pale. On one specimen the scuteilum 
is rather dark, and there are two large smoky blotches on the 
prothorax. Four of the specimens have the prothorax and 
elytra entirely opaque, but the fifth is shining, evidently owing 
to abrasion, as many of its hairs are missing, its punctures In 
consequence are much more distinct, especially on the 
prothorax.
