 prothorax combined, in ^ slightly shorter; distinctly curved, basal 

 third enlarged and strongly punctate. Antennas inserted at basal 

 third of rostrum. Prothorax feebly transverse, sides enlarging 

 to near base; densely punctate; with a moderately distinct basal 

 fovea. Elijtra wide, striate-punctate ; punctures large on disc, 

 small at sides; interstices convex and the width of punctures on

 ^ the length of prothorax only; slightly curved, feebly diminish- 

 ing to apex. Antennse inserted at about basal third of rostrum, 

 1st joint as long as 2nd-5th combined. Prothorax transverse, 

 base bisinuate, sides enlarging to near base. Elytra punctate-
