with yellowish setose scales, elytra with somewhat similar scales 

 ■or setse on interstices; under surface with sparser, longer and 

 paler setose hair. 



Head densely punctate, punctures confluent on vertex; ocular 

 fovea represented liy a very shallow depression; eyes rounded, 

 distant. Rostrum long, curved, very feebly decreasing in width 

 from apex to base; basal two thirds punctate in four or more 

 rows, giving that part a feebly carinate appearance, apical third 

 feebly punctate. Scape inserted about two-fiftlis from apex of 

 rostrum, passing apex; 1st joint of funicle distinctly longer than 

 2nd, 2nd slightly longer than 3rd, 5th-7th transverse. Prothorax 

 scarcely transverse, base bisinuate, sides feebly rounded; emargin- 

 ation and lobes obtuse; densely punctate, punctures sometimes 

 confluent. Scutellum oblong, minutely punctate. Elytra dis- 

 tinctly wider than prothorax and about thrice its length; shoulders 

 slightly oblique, basal two-thirds subparallel; each with nine rows 

 of oblong subcontiguous punctures ; interstices distinctly wider 

 than punctures, near base and suture flattened, elsewhere raised 

 in the middle, punctate, near base feebly transversely corrugate. 

 Pectoral canal wide, rather shallow, anterior coxse very feebl}' 

 separated. Mesosternal plate slightly depressed, apex emarginate, 

 sides incurved, base truncate. Metastermun flattened, sides sub- 

 vertical; densely punctate; episterna each with a distinct row of 

 punctures. ^6ffowe?i moderately densely punctate, basal segment 

 as long as 2nd -3rd combined; 2nd as long as intermediates com- 

 bined and slightly longer than apical; apical with a feeble depres- 

 sion near apex. Legs densely punctate; femora dentate, posterior 

 almost extending to apex of abdomen; tibi?e densely punctate, 

 feebly grooved, apices somewhat widened; claw-joints pubescent, 

 claws feeble. Length 4 (vix), rostrum 1|; width 2 (vix) mm.

In shape and size much the same as the two preceding, but 

 may be readily distinguished by its maculate appearance, non- 

 depressed basal segments of abdomen, elytral interstices, etc.
