strongly arcuate to basal fifth, becoming there rapidly sinuate and 

 thence parallel to the right angles, which are very sharp; base dis- 

 tinctly narrower than the apex; surface smooth, moderately convex, 

 with subobsolete impressions and subentire stria; fovese small, 

 smooth, very deep and elongate-oval, the carina obsolete; elytra 

 parallel, with very feebly arcuate sides, rather rapidly rounding in 

 posterior third, somewhat more than one-half longer than wide, 

 one-half wider than the prothorax; striae rather coarse, deeply im- 

 pressed, obsolete only near the apex, the punctures deep and some- 

 what coarse, moderately separated; seventh stria a distinct series 

 of very small and distant though obvious punctures; foveae behind 

 both basal and apical third. Length (9 ) 5.6 mm.; width 2.0 mm.

Head with normally prominent eyes, as wide as the thoracic apex. . . . 40 

 40 Body dark castaneous in color, never deep black. Elongate, rather 

 convex, shining; legs rufous; head fully three-fourths as wide as the 

 prothorax but not as wide as an elytron; antennae long, fusco-tes- 

 taceous, the medial joints rather more than three times as long as 

 wide; prothorax a third wider than long, the sides broadly, evenly 

 rounded, becoming rather gradually sinuate posteriorly and parallel 

 only near the angles, which are right and sharp; surface smooth, 

 convex, with fine angular anterior, and broad strong posterior, im- 

 pression, the stria fine, biabbreviated; foveae rather large, very deep, 

 oval, the carina obsolete; elytra one-half longer than wide and fully 

 one-half wider than the prothorax, often just visibly inflated pos- 

 teriorly, the sides feebly arcuate; striae rather coarse, moderately 

 impressed, fine, obsolescent near apical fourth, the punctures strong, 

 deep, well separated; seventh stria virtually obsolete; foveae near basal 

 and apical third. Length (cf 9 ) 4.8-5.8 mm.; width 1.8-2.2 mm.

represent a slightly smaller variety subangustatum Hayw. 



Body deep black when mature, piceous-black in merens, usually with 



greenish lustre 41 



41 Legs pale rufous throughout 42 



Legs rufous, the femora blackish, with pale tip 45 



42 Prothorax less narrowed posteriorly, the base but barely visibly 

 narrower than the apex. Deep black above and beneath, the upper 

 surface with feeble greenish tinge; head large, four-fifths as wide as 

 the prothorax and as wide as an elytron, the sulci deep; antennae 

 piceous, rufous at base, long, the medial joints obconic and three 

 times as long as wide; prothorax two-fifths wider than long, the sides 

 broadly, strongly and subevenly rounded, becoming sinuate basally 

 and parallel in fully basal fifth, the angles right and sharp; margins, 

 rather narrowly reflexed; surface smooth, punctulate at base, the 

 latter depressed; anterior impression very feeble, angular, the stria 

 strong and subentire; fovese very large and deep, rugulose, the bot- 

 tom linear, the carina long and distinct; elytra oblong-oval, the sides 

 distinctly arcuate, rather gradually rounded basally, gradually 

 strongly rounded behind, one-half longer than wide and nearly one-
