cmarginatcd in front, the anterior angles rounded, contracted 

 below the middle, sub quadratic and prolonged at the base, 

 posterior angles depressed, longitudinally divided by a deep 

 furrow. The elytra are striated, and, as the thorax, densely 

 punctured and thinly pubescent. The legs are strong, simple, 

 and subequal, the anterior tibia? are deeply notched, the first 

 joint of the tarsi is as long as the two succeeding ones together, 

 subcylindric, the 2nd triangular, the 3rd of a similar but more 

 transverse form, smaller; all three have the apical angles acu- 

 minated, the 4th is large and deeply bilobed, the 5th middling, 

 thin, the claws simple. The tarsi are altogether short and strong, 

 the first joint is furnished with longer, the 2nd and 3rd with; 

 shorter stiff hair, whilst the 4th is strongly penicillated below. 

 The anterior tibia? are slightly spinose, the others more so. 



The legs in all my specimens are exactly the same, and I 

 hardly know whether they are males or females. The insect; 

 has a peculiar, rather strong smell about it, resembling that 

 of soap*
