are seen to be raised above the rest of the margins); margins 

 wide with border strongly raised and reflexed, generally concave, 

 especially near boi-der, with a convex swelling within at about 

 half-way; surface of margins a little transversely wrinkled. 

 Disc slightly concave anteriorly, raised posteriorly, finely punc- 

 tured, punctures more evident towards the sides: central cai'ina 

 two-lobed, anterior part not extending to apex, with outline low 

 and uneven, posterior lobe much more raised into a rouud pro- 

 tuberance with its hinder edge subvertically terminated some 

 distance from base. Scutellum very transverse and not pro- 

 minent. Elytra nari'owly oval, convex longitudinally and trans- 

 versely; as wide at base as prothorax, then gradually enlarged 

 to behind the middle. Shoulders prominent, obtuse, and reflexed; 

 explanate margins much wider in front than behind, strongly 

 reflected and deeply channelled at junction with disc, concave at 

 humeral region, with two raised callosities occupying the full 

 width of margins, the anterior of these more prominent and 

 ridged than the posterior; border of margin itself rather widely 

 reflexed and vertical. The border itself (viewed from the side) 

 a little concave, with a fine sulcus defining the lower rim, this 

 also deflected below the undersurface. Disc with suture carinate 

 throughout, and two strongly raised subparallel costse, one on 

 each side of and rather close to the suture, the .'^pace between 

 them widening a little at base, the costte broken up into denticu- 

 late nodnles behind and terminated on reachins; apical declivitj'; 

 about half-way between the costse and lateral gutter is a short 

 row of shining pustules, obsolete at base and apex, a second 

 row of closer and smaller pustules on the discal side of gutter 

 itself. A row of punctures along each side of sutural carina and 

 costse, and a row of larger punctures at sides of disc, the disc 

 itself (between the costse) and explanate margins minutely punc- 

 tulate. Under side of margins of prothorax rather rugosely, of 

 elytra coarsely punctulate, punctures I'ound; prosternum with 

 epimera finely transversely strigose, prosternal process with pro- 

 minent subcylii drical keel, received into mesosternum liy semi- 

 circular groove; abdomen finely rugose, scarcely punctulate and
