 moniliform, 7th-llth successively widened, 9th-10th widely triangular, 11th larger 

 than 10th, bluntly oval. Prothorax transverse, moderately convex, sub-truncate a" 

 apex and base, anterior angles rounded, sides evenly and rather widely rounded, 

 posterior angles obtuse, sides not foliate,' narrowly margined throughout ; an 

 elongate fovea near hind angle, another near lateral margin, otherwise without 

 medial line or puncture. Scutellum widely triangular. Elytra wider than prothorax at 

 base and nearly three times as long, oval, striate-punctate, the .striae deep an ! 

 clearly cut, the seriate punctures sub-obsolete — a few very small punctures bareh-
