pentagonal like that of Grandidieri, but longer and narrower. Dorsum 

 of the epinotum nearly as long as the declivity and less sharply 

 delimited from it. Scale somewhat thicker. Pubescence scantier. 

 Otherwise just like Olivieri.

21, 8*9 mm. Black; basal third of the scapes ferruginous ; tarsi, 

 mandibles and flagellum brownish red. Sculpture of head and thorax 

 as in postoculatus, but the pit-like punctures on the head are larger 

 and deeper ; the abdomen is microscopically rugulose transversely, 

 shining, and also very shallowly and sparsely punctured. 



On the cheeks the large punctures occur as far back as the posterior 

 angles, and on the clypeus they are exceedingly shallow (not absent 

 from those two areas as stated in Forel's description). The pubescence 

 is whitish to pale golden, decumbent, exceedingly short and scanty 

 on the body, a little more abundant on the scapes and legs. The 

 pilosity is dirty white or yellowish white and not very plentiful, much 

 less so than in auropubens and its varieties. The femora are fairly 

 closely and shallowly punctured. The scapes extend beyond the 

 hind margin by a distance equal to their apical width. Mandibles 

 moderately shining, strongly punctured. The pronotum is feebly 

 convex above, or almost flat, with rounded but distinct shoulders. 

 The dorsum of the epinotum is twice as long as wide at the base, 

 flat, moderately oblique lengthwise, feebly convex transversely, 

 clearly delimited from the sides. It joins the almost vertical and 

 longer declivity in a very short curve. 



£ minor, 5-5-7 mm. Pilosity and pubescence even scantier than in 

 the 21.. The scapes in the smallest examples extend beyond the hind 

 margin by two-fifths of their length. The epinotum is more com- 

 pressed than in the 21., so that the dorsal face is merely an obtuse 

 ridge as narrow at the base as at the apex. It is relatively longer than 

 in the 2| .
