Very close to inter punctatus. Dr. II<irn states (7or. cit. under genus) 

 that he r-ould find no difference except that in nif/ritu there are l\vo clypeal 

 punctures on each side, while in in(< : ri>iuirt<itiix there is but one. Length

Very similar to .1. agricola; differs mainly in having two bristle-hear- 

 ing punctures instead of one on each side of clypeus. This may be a Con- 

 stant difference, but I doubt its specific rank. However, it is much used 

 by Horn in his paper, on which my key is mainly based. Length 13 14 nun.

Elongate-oblong. Pieeous, shining; antenna\ legs and sides of thorax 

 and elytra brownish-yellow. Thorax very little wider than long, narrowed 

 at base; sides curved in front, feebly sinuate behind, very narrowly de- 

 pressed; hind angles strongly rectangular, basal impressions short and deep, 

 finely and sparsely punctate. Elytra wider than thorax, rather deeply stri- 

 ate; intervals smooth, slightly convex. Length lO.ri-ll.r, mm.

This group is onipo^ed of species varying much in size, shape 

 and color, and agreeing only in possessing the characters of the 

 genus and in having the fronl libial spur slender, and the elytra 

 striate and sinuate at 1ip.
