detritoides. The sparse superimposed puncturation more- plentiful 

 and deeper. The reticulate-punctate fundamental sculpture is stronger 

 and extends over the scale as well. The anterior angles of the 

 pronotum are produced into slightly flattened teeth, somewhat 

 obtuse at their extreme apices, and about three-quarters as long as 

 their basal width. The scale of the petiole is distinctly emarginate 

 above. Otherwise like fulvopilosus and the var. detritoides. 



$ media, 12 mm. ; $ minor, 11 mm. Like the 21, but the colour of 

 the head, thorax, legs and antennae brighter. As in the 21, the 

 sculpture is distinctly stronger than in the type of the species. The 

 pronotal teeth in the $ media are less prominent, more obtuse, twice 

 as wide at the base as long. The scale is much thicker than in the 

 type, the anterior face strongly convex, the posterior face slightly 

 so transversely, but almost flat vertically, subacuminate in the 

 middle of the dorsal edge. In the $ minor the pronotal shoulders 

 are merely angular and the scale is not subacuminate above. 



$, (hitherto undescribed), 16-5 mm. Colour, pilosity and sculpture 

 as in the 2J.. Pronotal shoulders merely angular as in the type of 

 the species, which it otherwise resembles.

2[, 10-13 mm. Colour as in storeatus, sculpture as in. fulvopilosus 

 type. The pilosity of the abdomen is pale ochreous, short and quite 

 blunt, evenly distributed but sparse, and showing the colour and 

 sculpture in between the hairs ; the latter are distant from each 

 other by as much as their own length. In addition, the abdomen 

 has a fine, sparse and decumbent, yellowish pubescence. The 

 shoulders of the pronotum are much more prominent than in the type 

 of the species, but not so much so as in storeatus, merely subdentate. 

 The dorsum of the epinotum is narrow and more cristate, also longer 

 than in the type of the species, its junction with the declivity dis- 

 tinctly angular. The scale is higher and much thinner, the dorsal 

 edge emarginate in the middle and sharply trenchant. 



£ minor, 7-5-9 mm. The head of a brighter red than in the 21 

 and without the superimposed puncturation. The epinotum is more 

 compressed, the dorsum being almost linear ; it joins the declivity a
