" Broadly oval, moderately convex, brownish-black, scarcely 

 nitid ; head and prothorax finely punctured, the latter slightly 

 convex, the basal fovese nearly obsolete, the anterior angles rounded,

 telium transversely triangular. Elytra not broader than the 

 prothorax, finely seriate-punctate, the intermediate spaces between 

 the rows raised, three or four on each side the suture the most so, 

 those towards the sides gradually disappearing, foliaceous margins 

 narrowing gradually posteriorly, transversely corrugated ; body

 nal segments longitudinally corrugated ; antennse ferruginous
