 of the elytra, and legs (except rhe tip of the femora) paler; clothed with a grey 

 pubescence, and likewise with single long hairs, chiefly on the abdomen. Head 

 sparingly p^int'tured, middle of the vertex impunctate : upper lobes of the 

 eyes widely separated from each other. Scape of antennae distinctly arcuate, the 

 second joint nearly half as long as the fourth, the latter scarcely longer than half 

 the third. Prothorax a little longer than broad, obsoletely punctured ; the sides 

 feebly rouuded and slightly nodulose in the middle : disc with five smooth and 

 glabrous tubercles, one at each side in front of rhe middle roundeil, the third in the 

 central line behind the middle elongate, and one at each side before the base feeble, 

 besides one slight and transverse tubercle in front of the scutellum. Scutellum as 

 long as broad, with the apex rounded. Elytra strongly punctured, the punctures 

 finer at the apex, each puncture giving origin to a setnlose hair. Prosteruum with 

 irregular and feeble transverse wrinkles. Metasternum and abdomen with very few 

 distinct punctures.
