arcuately expanded at vertex, then slightly narrowed posteriorly 
and more strongly toward clypeus; rather deeply and broadly, 
longitudinally impressed from occiput to clypeus; surface 
with coarsely placed sinuate striz and nearly glabrous. Cly- 
peus slightly wider than long, with the front margin broadly, 
arcuately emarginate. Pronotum one-half wider than long, 
slightly narrower at base than apex, sides strongly arcuate in 
front, slightly sinuate behind middle, lateral margin feebly 
sinuate, hind angles rectangular, with a sharply defined, sinuous 
carina, the carina rather distant from posterior margin, extend- 
ing to near lateral margin a little beyond middle, disk moderately 
convex, with a deep, oblique, lateral depression, and a feeble 
one in front of scutellum; surface finely and widely striate, the 
strie transverse at middle, oblique at sides, intervals broad and 
shining, the depression sparsely punctate. Scutellum feebly, 
transversely carinate. Elytra slightly sinuate behind the humeri, 
broadened behind the middle, nearly entirely concealing the abdo- 
men from above, then obliquely narrowed to apices, these con- 
jointly, broadly, arcuately emarginate, with a short sharp spine 
at outer angles and a very minute one at sutural angles, the outer 
edge of the elytra moderately serrulate at apex; disk slightly flat- 
tened, without distinct coste, the sutural edge elevated behind the 
middle, humeri not prominent nor carinate, basal depressions 
not very deep; surface shining, densely and coarsely, imbricately 
granulate, slightly strigose at sides, sparsely clothed with short, 
inconspicuous, recumbent hairs, which do not conceal the surface 
sculpture and ornamented as above. Body beneath same color 
as above; prosternum densely, roughly scabrous, and sparsely, 
finely pubescent; prosternal lobe broadly, arcuately rounded, fee- 
bly truncate in front; intercoxal process feebly broadened behind 
cox, apex truncate, with an acute tooth at middle; propleura 
scabrous, slightly strigose, and feebly pubescent; metasternum 
moderately strigose. Abdomen sparsely punctate and trans- 
versely strigose, the strige coarse at the base, becoming finer 
toward apex, sparsely clothed with distinct white hairs, third 
and fourth segments with a more densely pubescent spot at the 
Sides ; first ventral segment convex, not impressed nor distinctly 
_ pubescent; last ventral obtusely rounded at tip; vertical portions 
of the first, third, and fourth segments with rather dense pubes- 
cent areas; pygidium indistinctly punctate, with a feeble median 
carina, which is not projecting at apex. Hind tarsi not quite 
half as long as the tibis, first joint about equal in length to the 
four following joints united; front and middle tibie feebly
