to position of ocular fovea and the others terminate before eyes. 

 Scape inserted about three-sevenths from apex of rostrum and 

 just passing apex; two basal joints of funicle elongate, 1st scarcely 

 the length of 2nd-3rd combined, 7th transverse; club shorter than 

 three preceding joints. ProfJiorax transverse, disc and sides 

 rounded, apex slightly produced, base bisinuate; ocular lobes 

 obtuse; densely punctate, punctures rounded, sometimes suboblong 

 or elliptic, occasionally confluent. Scutelliim subtriangular, 

 punctate. Elytra distinctly wider than prothorax and not thrice 

 its length, base feebly trisinuate; obsoletely granulate; shoulders 

 rounded, not impinging on prothorax; each with ten rows of sub- 

 elliptic punctures set in grooves and partially concealed by cloth- 

 ing; interstices wide, flat, near apex and sides becoming raised 

 and narrower, the 3rd, 5th and 7th slightly raised alcove the 

 others except near base, where all the interstices are wider than 

 rows of punctures, all densely punctate Pectoral canal wide, 

 shallow; anterior coxse feebly separated. Ifesosternal plate 

 depressed, punctate, apex almost triangularly emarginate, anterior 

 angles slightly raised, oblique, sides oblique, base very narrow. 

 Metasternum densely punctate on disc (which is slightly depressed) 

 and spai'sely at sides ; episterna each with a row of rounded 

 punctures and a few others at base and apex. Abdomen rather 

 coarsely and densely punctate, punctures partially concealed; 

 apical segment with a shallow impression near apex. Legs 

 densely punctate; anterior femora almost edentate, four posterior 

 with equal and rather sharp teeth, posterior extending to apical 

 segment of abdomen; tibite grooved on lower sides, except at base 

 almost straight; claw-joint long. Length 4J, rostrum If; width 

 2^ mm.

On close examination the punctures between the carinee appear 

 to be in two very irregular rows; the mesosternal receptacle is of 

 a rather peculiar shape ; the teeth of the anterior femora are 

 almost invisible and are only traceable with great difficulty and 

 from certain directions.
