 a small brownish area at each side of the disc densely granular. Elytra somewiiat 

 narrowed lieiiind, witli the apices commonly rounded, and with the sutural angles 

 rectangular : the front border of the basal punctures of the elytra raised each into 

 a minute granule ; at the side behind the shoulder of each elytron stands a small 

 and rather inconspicuous brownish spot. Under surface clothed with a grey

The coarse punctuation of the lateral part of the elytra from the base to 

 the apex, in addition to the feeble anterior transverse grooves of the prothorax, 

 will bt' sufficient to distinguish this species from any other of the genus Proso- 

 pocera.
