other. The eyes are placed a little in front of the middle of the sides. 

 The thorax is moderately finely reticulate, finely reticulate-punctate in 

 the interspaces, and shows no constrictions or sutures above. The 

 pronotal angles are produced into distinct triangular teeth (in angu- 

 latus less pronounced and much smaller) ; the pronotuin is wider than 

 the rest of the thorax, but a little narrower than the head. . . . ■ The 

 epinotum has two short small spines, which are only a little longer 

 than their basal width. The sculpture of the petiole similar to that 

 of the thorax ; the 1st joint shortly pedunculate, the node a little 

 wider than long, and, seen in profile, moderately convex above length- 

 wise ; the 2nd node is quite twice as wide as long (in an gulatus hardly 

 one and a half times as wide as long), and wider than the 1st. 

 Abdomen shining and very finely rugulose. The legs and antennae 

 without erect hairs. The femora are swollen, much the same as in 

 angulatus. Like other species of the genus, the middle and hind tibiae 

 are without calcaria,"

 " ^ . 3-8" 1 mm. Yellow or reddish yellow, the legs a little paler, 

 the teeth of the mandibles brown. The upper surface of the body is 

 clothed with short and very feebly clavate hairs ; the fine, decumbent, 

 and very short pubescence is very scanty, especially on the abdomen ; 

 the outer margins of the tibiae with decumbent hairs. Mandibles 

 5-dentate, longitudinally striate, and sparsely punctured. The head 

 is fairly rectangular, a little longer than wide, with round corners, 

 narrower in front than behind. It is rather coarsely and longi- 

 tudinally rugose, partly coarsely reticulate, between the rugae finely 

 reticulate-punctate ; the vertex and occiput with fairly straight longi- 

 tudinal striae. Clypeus rugose, distinctly produced in front, the 

 auterior margin arcuate, fairly flat and tricarinate, the median carina 

 becoming indistinct behind, the lateral carinae less pronounced than 

 the median, and not reaching the anterior margin. The clypeus is 

 wider posteriorly than in either angulatus or latinodis. The scape of 

 the 12- jointed antenna does not extend bach as far as the hind margin 

 of the head ; the 2nd-8th joints of the flagellum about twice as wide 

 as long, the joints of the club fairly clearly separated, the first being 

 about as wide as long. The sides of the head show faint traces of an 

 antennal scrobe. The eyes lie a little in front of the middle of the 

 sides. Thorax rather coarsely and longitudinally striate, partly longi- 

 tudinally rugose, finely reticulate-punctate between the rugae, widest
