lateral tooth; iiostoevilar tubercles obtuse; antennae (fis. 7e) roughly sea- 
brose, very robust, almost as long as head and ])ronotum together (4t) to 44), 
the first segment extending to middle of tylus, the second as long as distance 
between eyes; rostrum extending to base of prosternum. Pronotum (tig. 
7(1) rather hat, sides with coarse teeth anteriorly; earinae strongly elevated, 
coarsely granulate. Seutellum longer than jironotum (2t» to 20), rather 
broadly triangular, sides straight, jiarallel at extreme base, stronglv and 
sharply elevated; basal elevation transverse, narrow, sharply marked off 
from the depressed disc. Hemielytra (cf*) extending to liase of genital seg- 
ment, narrowed from basal exjiansion, exposing disc ot abdcjinen at sides, 
corium extending to middle of tourth; exocorium moderately but distinctly 
dilated; mesocorium with one, endocorium without distinct transverse 
veins, but somewhat roughened. 
cf (fig. 7b). Fifth ventral segment about as long as sixth ; genital segment 
stronglv convex, the lobes short. Abdomen broady obovate, widest behind

This species, somewhat related to ornatuf^, is readily distin- 
guished liy its small size, very robust antennae, coloration, and 
pronotal structure. It has Iteen found very seldom.
