(J. Head large (7x7 mm.), slightly ampliate behind the eyes ; 

 frontal impressions strong, subsinuate ; labrum rounded ; clypeus 

 very lightly emarginate, clypeal suture distinct ; eyes round, pro- 

 jecting. Prothorax short, transverse (6x9 mm.), a little nar- 

 rowed behind, not convex, declivous to the anterior margins, and 

 behind in the middle ; anterior margia slightly sinuate ; base 

 broadly emarginate in the middle ; lateral borders thick, re- 

 flexed, wider at the anterior angles, more strongly reflexed 

 behind ; the basal angles rounded ; the posterior marginal 

 seta placed inside the margin at the angles of the base ; a 

 strong transverse impression in front ; a flattened space along the 

 middle of the base, connected by an oblique transverse impression 

 with the lateral channel on each side ; median line strongly 

 impressed, crossed by fine transverse striolse. Elytra short, broad 

 (16 X 12 mm.), convex, declivous and broadly rounded behind (not 

 sinuate), subtruncate at base, lightly rounded on the sides, 

 broadest behind the middle, striate ; the stria? very lightly punc- 

 tate ; the interstices subcostate, (not carinate), equal, 1st, 2nd, 

 and 6th reaching the apex, all except the 7th obsolete at base ; two 

 fine punctures on 3 id interstice towards the base; no abbre- 

 viated* stria behind the scutelluni ; lateral borders reflexed, rising 

 from a short subdentiform projection at the shoulders, reaching 

 the apex ; a narrow shining margin along the sides, punctate on 

 its inner edge. Scutellum short, broad, rounded behind. Pro- 

 sternum longitudinally impressed between the coxse, setigero- 

 punctate, a few scattered setigerous punctures towards the middle, 

 in front of the coxse. Mesosternum setigero-punctate. Meta. 

 sternum not punctate on each side near the epimera ; the episterna 

 short, margined behind and on inner side, declivous to the epi- 

 mera. Segments of abdomen, except the last, with scattered 

 setigerous punctures towards the middle, last segment with one 

 setigerous puncture on each side.
