surface densely, transversely strigose and clothed with a few 
inconspicuous white hairs, the hairs becoming finer, darker, and 
almost invisible posteriorly. Clypeus wider than long, with 
the front margin broadly, arcuately emarginate. Pronotum 
nearly twice as wide as long, slightly narrowed at base; sides 
feebly arcuate from apex to base; lateral margin nearly straight 
when viewed laterally ; hind angles rectangular, with a sharply 
defined, very Short, arcuate carina, which does not extend be- 
yond basal fourth; disk convex, with a vague transverse impres- 
sion behind anterior margin and a similar but deeper one at 
middle, a deep, oblique, lateral depression joining the transverse 
median impression; surface coarsely, closely, and irregularly, 
transversely strigose, the intervals between the strigz punctate 
and clothed with short, erect, inconspicuous hairs. Scutellum 
with a double transverse carina. Elytra rather strongly sinuate 
behind the humeri, scarcely dilated behind the middle, then 
obliquely narrowed to apices, these extending into a long acute 
Spine, which is on a line with the middle of the elytron, the outer 
edge of the elytron before the spine rather strongly serrulate, the 
inner edge concave, with a few, small, sharp teeth near the 
suture; sides of the abdomen exposed above; disk rather convex, 
without distinct cost, the sutural edge slightly elevated at 
apical third; humeri prominent, not carinate; basal depression 
moderately deep; surface shining, finely and densely imbricate, 
becoming smoother and simply punctate toward apex, sparsely 
clothed with short, inconspicuous, recumbent hairs, which do 
not conceal the surface sculpture, each elytron with two round 
white pubescent spots, one at the middle and the other at the 
apical third. Body beneath bright aéneous with a feeble 
cupreous reflection, prosternum and legs dull dark green with 
a brassy tinge, the former densely, rather coarsely rugose, and 
Sparsely, finely pubescent; prosternal lobe broadly, arcuately 
emarginate ; intercoxal process broad, parallel, and acute at tip; 
- propleura Coarsely rugose, not pubescent; metasternum coarsely 
strigose. Abdomen nearly smooth, feebly, transversely strigose, 
finely punctate along the edge of the strige, third segment with 
@ densely pubescent transverse spot at side; first ventral segment 
Convex, neither impressed nor pubescent; last ventral obtusely 
rounded at tip; vertical portion of the segments, except the 
second, densely pubescent; pygidium coarsely punctate, not at 
all carinate. Hind tarsi five-sevenths as long as the tibia, first 
Joint longer than the four following joints united; tibize not
