Ceylon Coleoptera, Sfc. 65 



I have not dissected the labrum. The ligula itself is of a 

 leathery consistence, of the shape of an elongated inverted 

 triangle with an elevated back, the anterior margin is straight 

 and somewhat prolonged beyond what would be the sides of 

 the triangle. The paraglossae are of membranaceous texture, 

 very broad, adhering to the sides of the ligula to its full 

 length, taking then a slender, cylindric form and reaching 

 considerably beyond it, being at the same time slightly bent 

 inwards.
