Head somewliat triangular, labrum strongly emarginate, 

 truncate and fringed with upright reddish hairs; epistoma rather

 impression continued obliquely to sides in front of antennal orbit; 

 front widely channelled at centre with transverse impression 

 between the eyes, the whole finely punctate and clothed with a 

 rough derm; antennal orbits gradually widened and raised behind; 

 antennse with third joint longer than fourth and fifth combined,

 tinctly behind the middle, squarely emarginate anteriorly, front 

 angles enclosing head to eyesj and acute, apex with thin upturned

 upturned on anterior half and crenulate ; base truncate 

 and without raised border. Disc very uneven, with moder- 

 ately wide lateral foliation, central line only indicated by 

 large elongate fovea near base and a faint line near apex; and, 

 like the head and elytra, covered with a close derm, beneath 

 which are indications of punctures; faintly strigose at base and
