Micrapate bilobata, new species 



Male. — Uniformly dark reddish brown, underside of body in part 

 slightly darker, the antennae and palpi brownish yellow. 



Head coarsely, rather sparsely punctate, sparsely clothed with short, 

 recumbent, inconspicuous hairs on front, with' long, longitudinal, 

 parallel costae on occiput ; clypeus sparsely, finely, shallowly punctate, 

 clothed with a few inconspicuous hairs, arcuately emarginate in front, 

 anterior angles acute; clypeal suture feebly indicated; labrum 

 sparsely, finely punctate. 



Pronotum quadrate, widest at middle, more strongly converging 

 anteriorly ; posterior angles broadly rounded ; surface clothed with a 

 few very short, inconspicuous hairs, coarsely, sparsely punctate at sides 

 on basal half, imbricate punctate on median part of basal half, irregu- 

 larly dentate on apical half, the teeth variable in size, broad, semierect, 

 rather acute at apices, and rasplike,- with four larger teeth on each 

 side along lateral margins. 



Elytra at base subequal in width to pronotum at middle; sides 

 vaguely expanded posteriorly, conjointly broadly rounded at apices ; 

 apical contour (when viewed from above) broadly rounded; surface 

 deeply, narrowly depressed along sutural margins on apical declivity, 

 coarsely, densely, uniformly punctate, with a few short, recumbent, 

 inconspicuous hairs on apical declivity; sutural margins on apical 

 declivity strongly gibbose and abruptly expanded laterally at middle 

 of declivity, sides abruptly deflexed, the gibbosity smooth on dorsal 

 surface, divided into two lobes by a deep, median groove, and obtusely 

 rounded when viewed in profile. 



Body beneath finely, densely granulose, coarsely, rather densely, 

 shallowly punctate, sparsely clothed with recumbent, yellowish hairs, 

 which are longer at sides or* abdominal sternites ; last visible abdomi- 

 nal sternite broadly rounded at apex.

 vaguely indicated at middle ; labrum rather finely, sparsely punctate.
