numerous, but by no means dense. The front claw-joint of the 
male is deeply notched twice on the inner-side, leaving a thin 
truncated projection between the notches; the larger claw is 
strongly curved, from some directions appearing thin and , 
acutely pointed, from others triangular and from others four- 
sided; its basal appendix is large, and also varies with the 
point of view; the smaller claw is very much smaller than the 
other, but its basal appendix is much as those on the other 
tarsi. "The antennae usually have the club distinctly darker 
than the basal joints. There are at least five specimens of each 
of the following colour forms before me. 
Form d. Flavo-testaceous; elytra black, with 
sericeous bloom very conspicuous and almost golden, an 
Form 3, g. Flavo-testaceous; elytra of a lurid redd

the third the elytra are black.
