CEPHALOLEIA. 25 
Head granulose, distinctly punctured. Antenne less than half the length of the body, 
robust ; basal joint somewhat thickened, scarcely longer than the second, nearly equal 
in length to the third. Thorax scarcely broader than long ; sides straight and parallel, 
broadly rounded, and abruptly converging at the apex, the anterior angle subacute, the 
hinder one produced into a small acute tooth; disc subcylindrical, smooth and shining, 
subremotely impressed with large round punctures. Elytra parallel, rounded at the 
apex, conjointly subangulate-emarginate at the sutural angle; subnitidous, finely but. 
distinctly punctate-striate, the punctures larger and more strongly impressed on the 
anterior disc.

Head closely punctured. Antenne about half the length of the body, robust ; first and 
third joints equal in length, the second slightly shorter ; basal joint, together with the 
apex of the terminal one, rufo-piceous. Thorax nearly twice as broad as long; sides 
straight, slightly converging from the base to the apex, anterior angle not produced, 
broadly rounded, hinder angle acute ; disc transversely convex, excavated on either side 
just within the lateral margin, somewhat closely covered with large round punctures ; 
lateral margin narrowly reflexed, rufo-piceous. Scutellum scarcely longer than broad. 
Elytra broadly oblong-ovate, moderately convex, strongly punctate-striate, the strize 
sulcate, the puncturing finer on the hinder disc; interspaces on the lateral margin, and 
to a less extent on the inner disc, thickened and convex.
