aspere sat crebre punctulato; prothorace quam longiori fere 

 ut 2i ad 1 latioi'i, ab apice paullo ultra medium dilatato, pone 

 apicem transversim distincte impresso, crebrius asj^ere sub- 

 fortiter (ad latera magis grosse) punctulato, lateribus sat 

 arcuatis vix deplanatis, angulis posticis obtusis; scutello fere 

 Isevi; elytris sub callum humeralem distincte depressis pone 

 basin transversim vix impressis crebre sat f ortiter subsex'iatim 

 (ad latera parum fortius, apicem versus magis crebre) punc- 

 tulatis, verrucis nonnullis parvis minus distinctis confuse 

 instructis, interstitiis distincte (prajsertim apicem versus) 

 rugulosis sed rugulis in disco puncturas baud obscurantibus, 

 parte marginali sat angusta sed a disco (per sulculum con- 

 tinuum) bene divisa, calli humeralis margine interno a sutura 

 quam ab elytrorum margine laterali multo magis distanti; 

 segmento ventrali basali spai'sim subtiliter punctulato. 

 Mas quam femina paullo magis depressus, hujus antennis paullo 



minus elongatis. Long. 4-4~, lat. S-S^''^ lines. 

 The narrow lateral portion of the elytra divided from the discal 

 by a continuous furrow in combination with the prothorax at its 

 widest not much beliind the middle, and the inconspicuous small 

 verrucse (concolorous with the derm) of the elytra forms the lead- 

 ing characteristic of this species among its near a,llies. In the 

 female the greatest height of the elytra is a little further back 

 than in the male.
