moderately convex, central carina interrupted anteriorly and not 

 extending to apex, at base forming a widely rounded huinp, with

 widened, convex, and punctate. Scutellum triangular, strongly 

 ridged in the middle. Elytra{\2 x 9*5 mm.), base trisinuate and 

 serrated, less wide than prothorax, humeri rectangular and 

 dentate at their lower margin, the upper raised margin more 

 obtuse and rounded, sides subparallel, slightly widened bs-hind 

 the middle, a little acuminate at apex; foliate margins moder- 

 ately wide and horizontal at base, becoming narrow, sub- 

 vertical, and continuous with disc before middle, extreme 

 border thickened, crenulate and little raised, seen sideways 

 concave, wide as that of prothorax at base, gradually narrow- 

 ing to apex, with double border thick and nitid. Disc 

 depressed at l)ase, convex behind, bicostate, a thick crenu- 

 late carina on each elytron, these 3 mm. apart, outwardly 

 directed in front, subparallel for the greater part, nar- 

 rowed, converging, and abruptly terminated on apical 

 declivity, suture nowhere raised, a line of round pustules extend- 

 ing from behind shoulder, then growing smaller hindwards and 

 becoming obsolete before apex. Prosternum widely carinate,. 

 carina transversely notched, nitid, bifurcate, and terminated at 

 base by two round shining pustules; strongly produced backwards 

 and received into a deeply U-shaped mesosternal cavit}', this 

 cavity itself bordered by a raised notched margin, metasternum 

 with similar but less raised carina than that of prosternum; 

 abdomen finel}' granulose, interstices closely and minutely punc- 

 tate, whole undersurface, legs, palpi and antennee strongly pilose,,
