Tarsus of fourth leg stout and furnished with a dorsal hump, sloping rather steeply to the narrowed apex; ventral surface of the tarsus with two spurs, the apical one being well-developed. Colour.—Ground-colour of scutum deep mahogany-brown. A minute spot of metallic green is present on each of the scapulas, and a fairly large median spot of the same colour is also present at about a quarter of the length of the scutum from the anterior emargination. Measurements in mm.—Length of scutum 3*3, its greatest breadth 3*2; length of rostrum 1*11. ? .—Scutum wider than long and heart-shaped. Punctures numerous and mostly fairly deep, but those in the posterior angle are superficial. Cervical grooves rather large and comma-shaped; they are continued posteriorly by shallow and ill-defined depressions. Eyes pale, flat, and incon- spicuous (fig. 8). Fisr.
