Mandibles strong, without teeth, broad at the base, and acute

 the tarsi minutely pectinated on the basal half, the fourth joint of 

 the tarsi entire, with rather long seta? on the inner apex. 



Body depressed, ovate ; thorax broadly margined. Elytra

 than the width, and are slightly narrowed towards the apex ; there 

 are eight striae on each, with a row of very minute punctures in each 

 stria, the interstices are ridged, the scutellar stria is short ; there is
