The irroaotum is (coarsely punc- tured, slightly grooved along the middle and subcircular in shape, with the sides straight and convergent in front, and the front angles sharp. The scuteUwn is very short, nearly semicircular and slightly punctured. The elytra are coarsely punctate-striate and the jjygidiiua is very sparsely punctured. The front tibire are bi- dentate, and the aniennal club is long in both sexes, very long in the male. The upper surface is entirely opaque in the male, but the pro- notum, scutellum and elytra are shining in the female. The pygi- dium of the male bears a large white patch on each side and the greater part of the sternum and abdomen is also white. The prothorax is rather more elongate in the same sex, the hind tarsi are longer and the abdomen is strongly arched beneath. Length 10-] 1 mm.; breadth 4-5 mm. Assam : Khasi Hills. Tyjie in coll.
