7-11 moderately enlarged, 3 about half as long again as 4, 4-6 

 equal, subcylindric (very slightly obconic), 8-10 rather quadrate- 

 ovate, not wider than long, shorter than 7, the last intermediate 

 in form and length between 6 and 8; 11 oblong-ovate, as long as 

 9 and 10 combined. Prothorax i\ x 7^ mm., length measured 

 in the middle, width at base, width across front angles 4 mm., 

 apex with discal part straight (or sometimes produced forward in 

 the middle), the anterior angles produced to half the width of 

 the eyes, fairly widely rounded, sides arcuately widening to base; 

 posterior angles dentate, acute and a little outwardly directed 

 (overlapping the elytra), base strongly bisinuate, central lobe 

 produced; apex, sides, and angles at base very narrowly bordered, 

 margins wide, slightly concave and coarsely rugose-punctate, disc 

 nearly smooth, with small punctures sparsely and irregularly 

 placed, a more or less regular line of larger punctures at base and 

 apex; without any indication of a middle line. Scutellum scuti- 

 form, impunctate, depressed at sides, convex in middle. Elytra 

 very convex, gibbous at shoulders, humeral angle obtuse, soon 

 widening considerably behind the shoulders, parallel for the 

 middle portion, then rather abruptly incurved to the apex, the 

 last unarmed and rounded; disc irregularly punctate, punctures 

 coarser and more crowded in the humeral region, base and sides, 

 more sparse and smaller near suture and quite evanescent on 

 apical declivity, intervals minutely punctate on disc, rugose and 

 vermiculate near shoulder and on epipleurse. Abdomen minutely 

 punctate (the last segment more coarsely and closely so, and 

 truncate at apex); sides of metasternum and epimera rather 

 finely punctate, prosternum short, saddle-shaped, its process 

 scarcely produced forward, triangular with rounded sides behind, 

 received into the correspondingly notched mesosternum. Legs 

 long, finely pitted, tibiae straight, with a line of short yellow hair 

 on the inside, tarsi flavosetose, the anterior with three basal 

 joints enlarged, posterior with basal and claw-joint of about 

 equal length, the other two joints short. Dimensions, 17-20 x
