Head: labrum squarely emargiiiate, rui'o-ciliate in irout, epis- 

 toma truncate, its sides rounded, making nearly a right angle with 

 the Hat, elongate, and parallel canthus, the suture arcuate and sub- 

 obsolete in the middle; front depressed, the whole coarsely and 

 deeply punctate, space between the eyes as wide as the transverse 

 diameter of one; antennae short, extending to one-half the length 

 of prothorax, greatly enlarged apically, joint 3 longer than 4, 4-7 

 obconic, 8-10 transverse, successively wider and more ovate, 11 as 

 wide as 10, oval. Frothorax 5 x 6*0 inm., widest in middle, wider 

 at base than at apex, the latter nearly straight except at the angles, 

 these slightly reflexed, produced obliquely outwards and forwards 

 into a sharp triangular tooth, base bismuate, sides slightly rounded 

 in the middle, sinuate in front and (less strongly) behind; the pos- 

 terior angles subrectangular, not produced; lateral border moder- 

 ate, scarcely raised, not channelled within, apical border evident 

 throughout. Disc with irregularly scattered round punctures, more 

 crowded at the sides, with some smooth spaces near the middle. 

 Scutelliim curvilinearly triangular, punctate. Elytra wider than 

 prothorax at base and four times as long, widely rounded at, and 

 slightly gibbous near, the humeral region, sides parallel, apex 

 rather wide and horizontal, gradually narrowed in front, obsolete 

 at shoulders, narrowly bordered, the margin separated from the 

 disc by a fine sulcus, showing a few close punctures on basal half; 

 disc scarcely striate-punctate, with ten defined rows of large punc- 

 tures besides a short scutellary row, and an abbreviated row of 

 smaller punctures on the fourth interval; intervals somewhat 

 tumid, and convex at the sides, minutely punctate; the seriate 

 punctures round, and placed so that the distance between two is 

 about the width of an interval, with slight, variations of size and 

 distance apart. Submentum closely pustulose, prosternum trans- 

 versely rugose, its process coarsely punctate, bisulcate and widely 

 rounded behind, compressed and nodulose in front, mesosternal 

 cavity widely triangular, its edges swollen, sides of metasternum 

 and epimera with large round punctures, basal segments of abdo- 

 men strigose and finely punctate, femora coarsely punctate, pos- 

 terior tarsi with apical and clawjoint of equal length. Dimen- 

 sions, 28 X 12 mm.
