 reaching apex of intermediate coxae, 1st joint nearly as long as 

 2nd-3rd combined, 2nd-3rd equal, 11th not as long as 9 th- 10th

 l)ecoming feeble near apex, and ha\ ing a small fovea near tubercles. 

 Scutellum extremely small. Elytra not one and a half times as 

 long as head and prothorax combined, not much wider than 

 anterior portion of the latter, shoulders feebly rounded, sides 

 parallel to near apex; a feeble impression on each side between 

 suture and shoulders; suture very feebly raised near aj^ex. Legs
