New Stag Beetles

laterad rounded; clypeus slightly produced and broadly angu- 
lar; front strongly declivous, remotely punctured, with a feeble 
median ridge, and above the eyes an impunctate lateral crest, 
with adjacent oblong excavations; occipital area slightly ele- 
vated, with an adjoining median diamond-shaped depression. 
Antennae typical to the genus, with no visible deviation. Men- 
tum transverse-trapezoid, feebly bilobate (part of the left lobe 
broken off) in front, with two lateral ridges, and overlapping 
sculpture. Mandibles (apices broken off) minutely and densely 
punctulate, bent upward, curved, with a central inner tooth, 
latter distad with a horizontal depression, which thus forms 
two separate points, of which the superior is simple, and the 
inferior bicuspid. Prothorax quadrate, with a few obsolete 
scratches, anterior margin nearly straight, with antero-lateral 
angles produced and abruptly rounded; laterad nearly parallel 
to posterior angles, latter diagonal, base feebly sinuate; anterad 
strongly declivous, with a well-defined, median, truncate boss; 
disc with a central longitudinal fovea of irregular shape and, 
adjacent it on the left with two, and right three, smaller impres- 
sions. Scutellum: prescutellum cribrate-punctate, broad at base, 
narrowing toward the scutellum, which is heart-shaped, im- 
punctate, with a basal three-pointed fovea. Elytra parallel, 
humerus mucronate, posterior regularly rounded; each elytron 
with 8 striae, margin rugosely punctate; the striae, which on 
first glance appear simple, under higher powers assume an en- 
tirely different character, i.e ., consist of large circular punctures, 
interconnected by the sulca; first stria parallel to the suture, 
terminates on the declivity; second bends outward and forms 
a complete juncture with the sixth; third and fourth, joined; 
fifth encroaches on the connection between the second and sixth 
stria; seventh and eighth terminate near posterior margin; 
interspaces impunctate, broad and feebly convex, with the tri- 
angular area between the first and second stria strongly cibrate- 
punctate. Beneath, prosternum and prosternal episternum 
strongly rugose-punctate; prosternal process rounded, not 
prominent; metasternal episternum punctate, with an impunc- 
tate, lateral ridge; metasternum with a median longitudinal 
impressed line, glabrous, anterad strongly confluently punctate; 
abdominal segments emarginate, base of each with a line of 
large punctures (apparently a stridulating apparatus) ; terminal 
segment remotely punctured. Anterior tibiae strongly furcate,
