 elytra seriate-granulate. Black, opaque; nigro-setose. 



Head convex, forehead feebly concave between the ends of the 

 external rostral ridges, a faint longitudinal impression present in 

 front; sparingly, almost obsoletely, setigero-punctate. Rostrum 

 short, thick, as broad at apex as head; external ridges subparallel, 

 separated from head by a slight constriction; internal ridges 

 extending almost to apex, convergent basally, but separated by 

 median notch; lateral basal impressions long, rather deep poste-

 leading into depression behind marginal plate. Scrobes deep,
