 towards the base, not at all sinuate ; the surface modei-ately 

 finely and closely punctured, near each hind angle, with 

 an elongate ini])ression. Elytra distinctly longer than the 

 thorax, their punctuation rather coarser than, and not 

 quite so close as, that of the thorax. Ilind body de- 

 ])ressed, cylindric, but little shining ; all the segments, in- 

 chuling the (5th, distinctly punctured along the middle, the 

 ininctures at the sides becoming shallow stride ; on the 

 under face the striae along the sides are more deep and 

 distinct, the punctures along the middle sparing. Legs
