sat grosse vix crebre vix subseriatim (ad latera magis, postice 

 minus, grosse) punctulatis, verrucis sat magnis sat numerosis 

 minus elevatis sat seriatim instructis, interstitiis parum 

 rugulosis, parte marginali a disco vix (in parte subapicali 

 paullo magis distincte) divisa; segmento ventrali basali sub- 

 fortiter subcrebre punctulato. Long. 3^, lat. 24 lines. 

 A fairly distinct species notable for its black colour and the 

 coarse puncturation of its elytra, the verrucre of which are some-
