 EUjtra more than twice the length of prothorax, widest a little 

 before the middle, with numerous granules scattered about and 

 on tubercles, feebly punctate, the punctures more distinct at sides; 

 shoulders feebly projecting on to prothorax ; 2nd interstice with 

 three large conical tubercles, posterior largest and at summit of 

 declivity (which is moderately elongate), intermediate smallest; 

 3rd interstice with the largest tubercle of all, conical, rather 

 sharp, outwardly projecting and situate at side of middle of 

 -declivity; a row of three comparativel}'' small tubercles obliquely
