narrow margin. The anterior tarsi are furnished externally with 

 5 teeth, the 2 last ones of which, however, are very small, the pos- 

 terior legs are similarly provided, but the teeth are indistinct. The 

 joints of the tarsi are slightly excavated below. The sides of the 

 body below are rugose.

A large and distinguished species. The head is very rugose, the 

 clypeus is contracted behind the apical angles and then produced 

 again into another pair of angles. The labrum is transverse, slightly 

 sinuate in front, with the angles rounded and setose. The mentum 

 is quadrate, the lobes rounded at the apex and slightly sulcated, 

 the tooth is strong, of equal length with the lobes and of the typical 

 spear-headed form. The ligula has the apical angle much elongated, 

 terminating in a membranaceous bristle which is bifurcate at the 

 tip. The maxillary palpi have the last joint elongate, cylindrico- 

 conic ; that of the labial ones is still more elongate, elliptic. The 

 antennae have the basal joints elongate, those towards the tip round- 

 ed. They and the legs are hairy, otherwise the insect is of a bright 

 polished surface.
