TOE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 187 



about the sides, front of the pronotum and margin of the declivity, 

 sparse on disc of pronotum and disc ot elytra. 



The front of the head is much as in grandicollis, but more 

 coarsely sculptured, with a median coarse granule near the epistomal 

 margin, succeeded by a broad median impression, and this by the 

 wide smooth median line; the antennal club has the sutures rather 

 broadly but strongly angulate. 



The pronotum is distinctly but only moderately longer than 

 wide, broadly rounded behind, with the hind angles oblique; 

 the sides subparallel to the middle, then obliquely narrowed and 

 broadly rounded in front; the asperities of the cephalic half rather 

 small and concentric near the summit; the caudal part smooth 

 and shining, rather finely and moderately closely punctured on 

 the disc, with the smooth median space obsolete except at the 

 centre of the disc, closely and more coarsely punctured on the 

 sides. 



The elytra are punctate-striate, with the stria? slightly impressed 

 on the disc, excepting the sutural striae, which are very deeply 

 impressed and wider behind, with the punctures larger, closer 

 and transverse; the punctures of the remaining striae of medium 

 size, circular and more closely placed on the disc; the interspaces 

 flattened, excepting the first two, which are distinctly convex; 

 all the interspaces confusedly punctured and granulate at the 

 margin of the declivity; the lateral interspaces closely uniseriately 

 punctured, with punctures as large as those of the striae, the punc- 

 tures confused at the base, near the declivity, and on the last 

 two interspaces; the discal interspaces more sparsely punctured, 

 the first rather closely uniseriately punctured throughout and 

 granulate near the declivity, the second punctured only near the 

 declivity and the base, widest and the most strongly convex; 

 the third with three widely separated punctures in addition to 

 these at the base and near the declivity; the fourth punctured 

 forward to the middle and again at the base; the fifth sparsely 

 punctured at the base and closely towards the declivity; and the 

 remaining interspaces closely punctured; the elytra rather densely 

 clothed with stiff reddish hairs on the sides and around the margin 

 ■oi the declivity, with a few hairs along the base, and very sparsely 

 hairy on the disc. The declivity is deeply excavated, coarsely.
