the latter forming a broad pale stripe along the sides of the thorax and 

 elytra, and a narrow median dorsal line on the former. Beak as long as 

 thorax, distinctly carinate above and sulcate on the sides. Thorax slightly- 

 longer than wide, broadly rounded on the sides, gradually narrowed in 

 front of middle. Elytra strongly emarginate at base; striae coarsely punc- 

 tured; intervals wide, somewhat convex; subapical callus as in sguamiger. 

 First and second ventrals of female with a broad shallow impression, the 

 last ventral with a deep, round excavation extending from base to tip.
