clypeus. Clypeus slightly wider than long, with the front mar- 
gin nearly truncate. Pronotum nearly one-half wider than long, 
distinctly narrower at base than apex; sides strongly arcuate 
anteriorly, sinuate behind middle; lateral margin very nearly 
straight; hind angles sharply rectangular, with a sharply defined 
strongly arcuate carina, the carina reaching the lateral margin 
at the middle; disk convex, the median line with a vague anterior 
and posterior depression and with a vague, narrow, oblique, 
lateral depression; surface rather coarsely, closely, transversely 
strigose, the intervals rather densely and coarsely punctate. 
Scutellum not very wide, sharply, transversely carinate. Elytra 
gradually narrowed to middle, with a feeble postmedian dilata- 
tion, then strongly, obliquely narrowed to apices, which are 
separately, rather acutely rounded and finely serrulate, sides of 
abdomen visible from above; disk slightly concave along the 
suture, the concavity slightly wider at middle, without distinct 
costee; sutural edge feebly elevated behind middle; humeri feeble, 
not carinate; basal depression rather feeble; surface shining, 
finely and densely, imbricately granulate, rather densely clothed 
with distinct, short, whitish, recumbent hairs, except for a de- 
nuded transverse dark band at the apical third. Body beneath 
olivaceous bronze; prosternum densely and rather finely scabrous, 
feebly pubescent; prosternal lobe broadly rounded, with a deep 
semicircular emargination at the middle, angles of the emar- 
gination very acute; intercoxal process broad, sides expanded 
behind cox, apex truncate, with a sharp tooth at the middle 
and the lateral angles very acute and incurved; propleura 
coarsely punctate, slightly strigose, and feebly pubescent; me- 
tasternum densely and finely rugose. Abdomen finely, densely 
punctate-strigose, vaguely pubescent; first ventral segment 
convex, not impressed nor conspicuously pubescent; last segment 
subtruncate and feebly emarginate at apex; vertical portions 
of the segments glabrous; pygidium punctate, median carina 
well marked, but not projecting. Hind tarsi three-fourths as 
long as tibize, the first joint fully as long as the four following 
joints united; anterior and middle tibize mucronate at the inner 
apex, the posterior simple; claws of anterior and middle tarsi 
cleft at apex, the hind claws broadly toothed. 
Length, 5 to 6.25 millimeters; width, 1.3 to 1.75. 
Female.—Differs from the male in having the front of head 
cupreous, more densely punctate and transversely rugose, pro- 
sternal lobe less deeply emarginate, tibize simple, and the claws 
on all feet cleft at middle forming a broad tooth.
