Head with the front slightly concave between the eyes, with

and with a deep oblong puncture in front of suture near base 
of antennze; eyes slightly margined on the inner side; epistoma 
wide, slightly elevated, finely, transversely strigose, anterior 
margin truncate, the angles acute and protruding around base of 
antennsz, which are widely separated; clypeal suture distinct, 
subtruncate. Pronotum short, three times as wide as long, much 
narrower in front than behind; surface with rather densely 
placed circular marks, becoming less dense on the disk, sparsely

strongly, obliquely arcuate to the posterior angles, which are 
acute; base bisinuate, with a broadly rounded median lobe in 
front of scutellum. Scutellum small, triangular. Elytra as 
wide as pronotum at base, slightly sinuate near posterior coxe, 
then obliquely arcuate to near tips, which are conjointly 
rounded; humeri not prominent; surface with a distinct lateral 
carina, reaching from the humeri to near the apex, rather 
densely, finely punctate, broadly depressed along base near 
humeri and with a more elongate depression along lateral 
margin just behind humeri, sparsely clothed on the anterior 
violaceous part with short, reddish brown, recumbent hairs, be- 
coming much denser and more golden yellow on the apical third. 
Beneath convex, abdomen densely marked with semicircular 
lines, the middle of each with a fine puncture; intervals finely 
granulate, with a few, inconspicuous, white hairs; prosternum
