impressed, noticeably so on the declivity; punctures of the rows more 

 widely spaced than in (Us par, usually separated by more than their own 

 diameters; interspaces wide, with irregular, very fine punctures replaced 

 by minute granules behind; seventh ridged behind and forming, as in 

 dispar, the ventral margin of declivity, but with a few acute granules. 

 Male, front sparsely punctured and with long hairs; carina slightly de- 

 veloped; epistomal fringe longer and thinner than in obesus Lee. Prono- 

 tum with asperations sparse but well developed, caudal half punctured as 

 usual, smooth median space absent, outline from above broadly rounded 

 in front and behind, sparsely hairy. Length, female, 2.2 2.5 mm.

 with rows of rather distant punctures, intervals flat, marked with small, 

 distant punctures from which proceed the long hairs; tip obliquely de- 

 clivous, not tuberculate, but with the strife somewhat impressed and side

 with lateral acute margins armed with teeth. (Hopkins.)
