under surface and legs dark rufous; elytra (9 ) micro-reticulate but 

 only faintly alutaceous; head relatively large, two-thirds as wide as 

 the prothorax, the eyes moderately prominent; strides very short, 

 oblique; antennae ferruginous, slender, extending well behind the 

 thoracic base; prothorax short, two-thirds wider than long, the sides 

 subparallel and feebly arcuate, more converging and arcuate api- 

 cally, the finely reflexed margin rufescent; apex nearly four-fifths as 

 wide as the base, sinuate, with slightly prominent though blunt 

 angles; postero-lateral flattening feeble and vestigial; transverse im- 

 pressions rather distinct; surface almost completely impunctate, the 

 foveae rounded, very moderate, subequal and impressed, each with 

 two or three very small punctures; elytra two-fifths longer than wide, 

 scarcely at all wider than the prothorax, obtusely ogival behind, the 

 feebly arcuate sides rather narrowly reflexed; striae very fine, min- 

 utely, indistinctly punctulate, the scutellar on both elytra in the 

 type continuing unbroken to the apex, the detached basal part of 

 the first stria widely isolated; foveae of the eighth not interrupted; 

 intervals flat. Length (9 ) 5.4 mm.; width 2.3 mm. New Mexico

 ginous, extending well behind the thoracic base; prothorax one-half 

 wider than long, the sides feebly arcuate and finely, sharply reflexed, 

 subparallel in basal, more converging and rounded in apical, half; 

 apex three-fourths as wide as the base, feebly sinuate, the angles 

 narrowly obtuse; postero-lateral flattening barely traceable, ves- 

 tigial; transverse impressions very faint; foveal region with a few 

 small sparse punctures; foveae unequal, moderately impressed, the 

 inner linear, the outer much smaller and oblique; elytra fully one- 

 half longer than wide, but slightly wider than the prothorax, grad-

 striae impunctate, very fine, slightly impressed, the scutellar con- 

 tinuous with the sutural in the type, the basal part of the first
