SPOLIA ZBYL4NICA. 
Pronotal process and wings abbreviated; median carina of 
pronotum irregularly sinuate posteriorly ; miliarius cuneatus , 
Hanc.

Plate II., fig’s. 8-8&. 
Body medium robust, granulate, coarsely tuberculate or elongate 
callosed. Vertex viewed from above distinctly wider than one of 
the eyes, flattened, not advanced quite so far as the eyes, the front 
margin truncate but provided on each side with a small arcuate 
carinula, a little elevated at the sides and abbreviated ; middle of 
vertex somewhat feebly carinate forwards, on either side subfossu- 
late, the lateral margins divergent backwards, provided with 
distinct supra-ocular lobes; crown of head in profile scarcely 
elevated horizontal. Frontal costa little advanced before the eyes, 
lightly convex protuberant between the antennae ; profile of face 
slightly retreating; viewed in front the facial frontal costa 
narrowly sulcate above, the rami little divergent below. Eyes of 
moderate size subtriangular, not at all exserted. Antennae short 
filiform, joints distinct, the first basal article large and longitudi¬ 
nally compressed. Pronotam truncate in front posteriorly long 
subulate extended backwards far beyond the posterior femoral 
knees, but not reaching quite so far as the wings ; dorsum above 
flattened, between the shoulders transversely rounded, moderately 
broad, in front of the shoulders laterally little constricted fossulate, 
behind distinctly flattened; humeral angles widely obtuse; median 
carina distinct percurrent, little elevated, in profile irregularly 
convex forward, scarcely substraight posteriorly ; anterior pro- 
zonal carinae more or less distinct slightly convergent backwards; 
lateral carinae distinct passing forwards on the shoulders, 
posteriorly on the apical process obliterated; infra scapular area 
above the elytra narrow subsulcate, scarcely at all arcuate, opposite 
the outer half of the elytra about as wide as the scapular area ; 
lateral lobes posteriorly bisinuata behind, the posterior angle 
laminate outwards, provided with a distinct strong spine directed 
obliquely backwards, the posterior angle obliquely truncate behind. 
Elytra oblong ovate apex angulato-rounded; wings fully developed 
extended backwards little beyond the pronotal. apex. Anterior 
femora entire elongate ; middle femora elongate, marginal carinae 
suhindistinctly undulate; posterior femoral margins above 
crenulate, knee reduced ; posterior tibias sinuate curvate, margins 
spinose, eight to ten on the outer side ; first articles of posterior 
tarsi little longer than the third, pulvilli elongate flat below. 
Blades of ovipositor slender denticulate. The males are generally 
smoother than the females on the dorsum of pronotum.
