each puncture and sprinkled about ; under surface and femora 

 with sparse moderately elongate scales, densest on tibiae; head 

 and rostrum sparsely clothed, scape with a very few towards apex. 

 Ciliation absent. 



Convex, strongly tuberculate. Head very feebly, the muzzle more 

 distinctly punctate; ocular fovea almost obsolete; eyes moderately 

 granulate, subtriangular ; rostrum distinctly curved, elongate, 

 subparallel, a feeble carina extending almost its entire length ; 

 scape inserted about two-fifths from apex, reaching or very slightly 

 passing apex of muzzle ; 2nd joint of funicle almost twice as long 

 as 1st and longer than three following combined, 7th as long as 

 two preceding combined, subadnate to club. Prothurax scarcely 

 longer than wide, basal two-thirds subparallel ; apex produced, 

 rounded ; ocular lobes slight ; constriction not very deep, just 

 visible from above; median carina extending one-third from apex 

 to base, where it forms a small but distinct scutellar lobe ; 

 narrowly depressed at base, several almost obsolete tubercles 

 towards l^ase, a transverse I'ow of four large tubercles across the 

 middle, the median larger and a little behind the lateral; a feeble 

 ridge extending on each side from apex to a little beyond con- 

 striction, causing the apical third to appear concave; impunctate. 

 Extreme length of elytra fully thrice that of prothorax ; base 

 feebly bisinuate, as wide as prothorax, with almost obsolete 

 granules or very small tubercles; 2nd interstice with three large 

 tubercles, the basal largest and closer to 2nd than is the 3rd; 4th 

 interstice with three large ones, but smaller than those of 2nd; 

 6th interstice with three still smaller, the basal being little better 

 than a large granule ; posterior declivity abrupt, almost at its 

 summit with two lai'ge tubercles soldered together almost their 

 entire length, below them on 4th interstice a large conical 

 tubercle, apex at sides with a feeble rounded tubercle; distinctly 

 punctate. Basal segment of abdomen twice as long as 2nd, feebly 

 concave on each side near coxae; intermediates much depressed 

 below 2nd, which feebly encroaches upon them at its middle, 

 distinctly shorter than apical ; apical with a feeble transverse 

 impression a little before its apex. Leys long; femora reaching
