 two preceding joints. Prothorax scarcely transverse, sides 

 slightly rounded, feebly increasing to base, posterior angles 

 rounded, base bisinuate; ocular lobes rather prominent, slightly 

 rounded; densely and regularly punctate, punctures smaller at 

 apex than elsewhere; a feeble shining median line continued to 

 base and apex. Scutellum rounded, granuliform. Elytra wider 

 than prothorax and about twice its length, cordate, shoulders and 

 sides oblique, each with ten* rows of large, elliptic, shelving 

 punctures, near base separated by transverse ridges; interstices 

 (including suture) narrow, raised, slightly waved by punctures 

 near base, elsewhere straight ; sides of interstices with small 

 punctures. Pectoral canal wide, moderately deep; anterior coxte 

 compressed, distinctly separated. Jlesostemal plate transverse, 

 depressed, base straight, apex very feebly emaryinate, anterior 

 angles oblique, middle with a transversely elliptic shallow fovea. 

 Metasternum slightly depressed in middle, coarsely and irregularly 

 punctate ; episterna each with a continuous row of slightl}^ 

 elongated punctures. Abdomen with the two basal segments 

 coarsely punctate, 1st as large as 2nd-3rd combined; 2nd trans- 

 versely convex ; intermediates slightly raised at their bases, 

 obsoletely punctate; apical segment densely punctate and in the

 punctures frequently confluent ; femora distinctly dentate and 

 each with a smaller tooth or granule in emargination; postei'ior
