M. Putzeys added to his Latin diagnosis a fuller description 

 in French; the following is a translation of the more salient 

 parts : — 



The epistoma is almost truncate, bordered; its angles project 

 in the form of prominent teeth; the wings are hardly 

 distinct from the supra-antennal margins. The vertex is 

 flattened in the middle, irregularly foveolate and punctate; the 

 longitudinal carinas of the sides of the head are very distinct and 

 straight; they do not become broader towards their source. 



The prothorax is a little longer than broad; its sides are parallel; 

 the anterior angles are lightly rounded and very declivous; the pos- 

 terior angles are only marked by the interruption of the marginal 

 boixler and by a piliferous puncture placed within it; all the 

 surface (except the margins) is covered with rather large punctures, 

 which are stronger and more numerous on the sides near the 

 basal foveae; these are oblong, rather wide, but shallow. 



The elytra are of the same width as the prothorax, elongate; 

 their sides are almost parallel; the base appears truncate and the
