 prothorax not wide, subcordate, not punctate near sides of base, 

 base and apex of about equal width ; elytra parallel on sides,

 reddish-piceous, antenna? ferruginous. 



Head long ; mandibles prominent ; frontal impressions well

orbits reniform, rather prominent. Prothorax small (2 x 2-3 mm.), 



widest just behind anterior marginal puncture, smooth, depressed

narrowed to apex, more obliquely so to base; anterior margin 



emarginate ; anterior angles marked, slightly prominent ; base
