■obtuse, epicranium raised. Antenme a little longer than the 

 thorax, brown, terminating in a mass formed of the last five joints, 

 the ninth largest, the last oval. Thorax transverse, rounded later- 

 ally, naiTowed towards the apex and sinuate at the base, entirely 

 rugose and opaque, the disk convex, the median line strongly 

 carinate, the carina more elevated towards the base, near which it 

 terminates in an obtuse point ; the margins rather concave and 

 reflexed on the borders, a little convex at the posterior angles 

 which are lightly curved backwards, the anterior angles crossing 

 a little and terminating in a narrow point. Elytra oval, rounded 

 towards the apex, nitid, the disk convex, strongly punctate, suture 

 carinate, on each elytron and nearer the suture than the sides, an 

 elevated thin carina which terminates about one-third of the 

 length from the apex ; scutellum rounded, margins smooth, raised 

 at the humeral angles, the rest flat, narrower at the base than 

 that of the thorax and very narrowly reflexed, under sui'face 

 reddish-brown and rugose, the part embracing the elytra punctate.

 compressed triangular spine ; scutellum transversely triangular, 

 keeled in the middle ; elytra impunctate, the broad strongly 

 reflexed margins faintly punctured, their edges terminated by an 

 «rect, narrow border, the raised suture having on each side at a 

 short distance a sharp costa crenated on both sides, and externally 

 near the angle formed by the reflected margin a line of small 

 tubercles which do not however extend to the base ; body beneath 

 glabrous, black, shining ; legs rugose " (Pascoe).
