angles are advanced and the posterior recurved. The scutellum 

 is transversely triangular and smooth. The elytra are rather 

 convex, with the suture and four lines on the disk costate, these 

 costse are raised and smooth, the sutural one continuous to the 

 apex, the others for two-thirds of the length, the first from the 

 suture the largest, the interstices are broad, flat, opaque and very 

 obsoletely punctate ; the margins are moderately broad. The 

 under surface is striolate, punctate and sub-nitid.

" Shortly ovate, blackish brown, opaque ; clypeus very trans-

 punctured ; protliQrax closely covered with small oblong punctures, 

 the margins broad and sub-granulous, the apex rather broadly 

 emarginate ; elytra tricostate, the costfe moderately elevated, dying 

 out towards the apex, the intervals irregularly punctured), the 

 margins narrow but very distinct ; body beneath and femora
