margin; and anteriorly as a broad ill-defined brown band reaching to 
the posterior mandibular articulation, and then spreading broadly to 
embrace the eye and the base of the antennal band. The latter is deep 
brown, begins external to the anterior mandibular articulation, runs to 
the frontal margin in front of the antenna, and turns along the anterior 
border of the head to meet that of the other side, becoming narrower as 
it goes forward, except for a short length in the middle of the front 
which is biconvex, and affords one means of distinguishing this species 
from most of its congeners. From between the antenna and the eye a

short band runs inwards, not quite meeting the base of the antennal 
band. From behind the eye a very narrow band edges the temporal 
margin to the base of the spine. The antennae are alike in the sexes, 
the first article being a trifle more swollen in the d. The basal article 
is longest; the second narrower and shorter; the third and fourth sub¬ 
equal, and shorter still; the fifth shortest. The sinus is large and 
semicircular, roofed dorsally by a transparent membrane, and partly 
covered ventrally by the trabecular angle, and a slight forward pro¬ 
jection of the posterior angle. 
The prothorax is more or less rectangular, its antero-lateral angles 
rounded, its hind border convex on the metathorax. The pronotum 
bears an hour-glass-shaped transverse band, darker postero-laterally, 
and more deeply emarginate in front; the space thus left being filled by 
a small oval blotch. (This last has, in Giebel’s figure of Goniodes brevipes 
(1878, pi. XIV., fig. 19), been included within the occipital border.) 
The metathorax is as broad as the head immediately in front of the eyes. 
The postero-lateral borders are carried back on to the abdomen as far 
as the anterior border of the second segment; the hind margin being
