ridged along middle to between antennre; not very densely or 

 coarsely punctate, punctures distinct only on apical third. Funicle 

 with the 2nd joint the length of 3rd and 4th, and considerably 

 longer than 1st, 4th-6th gradually decreasing in length. Fro- 

 thorax slightl}^ longer than wide, subcylindrical, apex more than 

 half the width of base; with a distinct, narrow, shining, con 

 tinuous, median carina; with numerous large round granules that 

 become smaller towards and disappear on each side of apex. 

 Scutelhun subcordate. Elytra about twice and one-third the 

 length of prothorax, and not much wider at base, where each is 

 separately rounded; with series of large, round, partially concealed 

 punctures, each of which contains a scale; interstices regular, 

 convex, much wider than punctures, each with a series of small 

 and very obtuse granules. Pectoral canal much deeper between 

 anterior coxse (almost the whole of which are exposed) than 

 elsewhere. Metasternum and abdomen very feebly punctate. 

 Legs, especially the anterior, long and thin; tibiae thin, four 

 posterior lightly curved at base, the anterior rather strongly at 

 apical third. Length 19, rostrum 6 J ; width 8; variation in 

 length 16-19 mm.
