' Colour olivaceo-ochraceous with the hind borders of the ter- gites rufous. Head coarsely and closely punctured below, very sparsely punctured above ; apical segment of antennae moderately dilated distally. Tergites almost smooth, only very finely and closely punctured and minutely striolate ; not granular anteriorly. First ter gite with lamina small, rising gradually with evenly arched evenly rounded border ; on the infero-lateral smooth part of the tergite above the base of the lamina there are a few fine radiating ridges ; a fine sulcus starting laterally and inferiorly crosses from side to side over the vertex immediately behind the anterior margin of the plate. Anal tergite evenly convex from above downwards and from side to side ; a fine sulcus defining the inferior edge ; without a marginal notch but with a conspicuous inner-ridge ; a similar ridge occupying the corresponding position on each of the preceding tergites (except the first). Legs with attenuate tarsi and a single spine above and behind the terminal claw. Copulatory forceps; pair (fig. 4, B) with movable dactylus long, much longer ' i^ than the immovable, tolerably straight and composed of two segments; immo- vable dactylus also relatively straight; pair (fig. 4, A) with carpal segment short and stout, the movable dactylus i ..-, ..' ?,. , ' , Zephronia gestri long with its distal segment relatively large and distinctly separated.
