140 Psyche [Sept.-Dee. 
Eyes large and coarsely faceted. Antennae with joint 1 stout, 
equal in length to joint 3, which is about equal to joints 2 and 4 
together; joints 4-6 gradually diminishing in length, joints 6, 
7 and 8 of about equal length. Joints 9-11 form a narrow, not 
much flattened club, which is only a little longer than the pre- 
ceding three joints together. The mandibles are worn but dis- 
tinctly prolonged at their tips. The outer lobe of the maxilla is 
moderately broad and very long, extending beyond the palp and 
acutely pointed, the inner lobe not more than half the length 
of the outer and very slender. Prosternal process narrow, not 
surpassing the front coxae, which are globose and prominent. 
Pronotum slightly broader than its middle length, its front 
angles produced to the eyes and rounded. From the front angles 
the sides of the pronotum widen very slightly to their middle, 
then are constricted and run straight back to the slightly acute 
but not produced hind angles. Side margins narrow. Lateral 
sulci deeply impressed, a little divergent, ending behind the 
middle of pronotal disc. Transverse sulcus deep, almost straight. 
Surface oi pronotum black, the edges reddish, clothed with 
a fine, recumbent, gray pubescence. Scutellum transverse, 
rounded behind. Elytra at shoulders a little broader than the 
pronotum, widening posteriorly. Sutural stria fine. Each ely- 
tron bears two transverse, reddish-yellow marks; the first just 
behind the shoulder, beginning at the side, then a little con- 
stricted in the longitude of the umbo, thence expanding rapidly 
posteriorly so that the spot is roughly foot-shaped. The pos- 
terior spot is equally removed from sutural and lateral margins. 
It is produced anteriorly into two broad, blunt processes and 
posteriorly into two equally broad but longer processes of which 
the inner is the longer and more pointed. The elytra, like the 
pronotum, are clothed with a fine, sparse, gray pubescence. The 
under surface is red except for the mesosternum, which is black. 
Legs black. 
The single specimen available is a male as revealed by dis- 
section of the genitalia. The only external feature which seems 
to be of accessory sexual nature is a small curvature of the 
middle tibiae in their distal third. The last ventral segment is 
lightly rounded and shows no special characters. The last dorsal 
segment is also rounded and entire. Length 6 mm.
