long, with the front margin slightly arcuate. Pronotum one- 
half wider than long, wider at base than apex; sides nearly 
straight, lateral margin strongly sinuate when viewed laterally; 
hind angles rectangular, with a sharply defined, arcuate carina, 
the carina extending to lateral margin at apical third; disk 
convex, with a vague, broadly transverse depression in front 
of scutellum; surface very finely and irregularly strigose, near 
sides more densely strigose-punctate, intervals rather densely . 
and finely punctate, from each puncture arises a short, semi- 
erect, inconspicuous hair. Scutellum wide, strongly, transversely 
bicarinate. Elytra nearly parallel to just behind the middle, 
then strongly, obliquely narrowed to apices, which are con- 
jointly rounded without serrulation, sides of abdomen entirely 
concealed from above; disk rather convex, slightly flattened 
posteriorly along suture, without distinct costes, sutural mar- 
gin feebly elevated near apex, humeral carina very short; basal 
depressions rather feeble; surface shining, coarsely and densely. 
imbricately granulate, rather densely clothed with distinct, short, 
whitish, semierect pubescence. Body beneath piceous, with a 
strong aéneous tinge; prosternum coarsely rugose and feebly 
pubescent; prosternal lobe broadly rounded, and vaguely emar- 
ginate at middle; intercoxal process abruptly expanded behind 
coxee, apex broad and biemarginate, with the median tooth more 
advanced in front than the sides; propleura coarsely, sparsely 
punctate, slightly strigose and vaguely pubescent; metasternum 
at sides coarsely punctate-strigose. Abdomen not as coarsely 
punctate-strigose as metasternum, becoming smoother posterior- 
ly; first ventral segment convex, not impressed or more pubes- 
cent than the rest of abdomen; last segment feebly concave, 
deeply and acutely emarginate at apex; pygidium without 
projecting carina. Hind tarsi about one-half as long as the 
tibiz, the first joint equal in length to the four following joints 
united; anterior and middle tibiz distinctly mucronate at the 
inner apex, the posterior simple; claws divaricate, cleft close 
to apex on all the feet. 
Length, 4.7 millimeters; width, 1.6. 
Female—Very similar to the male but differs in having the 
front of head bright cupreous, all the tibie simple, claws on all 
the feet cleft at middle forming a short, acute tooth, and by 
having the posterior tarsi shorter than in the male, not being 
one-half as long as the tibie. 
Described from three males and one female. The type is‘a 
male from Butuan, Mindanao (Baker 8307). Allotype from the
