Frons (fig. 10) dark brown, feebly shining, convex above, finely, 

 obscurely punctured, with a few fine, short, inconspicuous hairs; 

 median line with a strong carina extending orad to level of eye emar- 

 ginations; epistoma transversely impressed; with a small, circular 

 callus at each side, below end of carina. Eyes not approximate above, 

 narrowly ovate, inner line shallowly emarginate, facets moderately 

 coarse. Antennal club fusiform, first 2 sutures nearly completely 

 septate. 



Pronotum 1.03 times as long as wide, posterior outline weakly 

 bisinuate, posterior lateral angles slightly rounded; sides nearly 

 straight and feeblj^ diverging on posterior half, then arcuately nar- 

 rowed, feebly constricted, broadly rounded in front; surface mod- 

 erately shining, impressed just behind anterior margin, finely, shal- 

 lowly, moderately closely punctate, substrigate; median line very 

 narrow, feebly elevated. Propleura with a rather large fovea (fig. 11) 

 &t each side, lined with hairs, above and anterad of fore coxae, as in 

 PldoeohoTUS^ etc. 



Elytra wider than pronotum and 1.45 times as long, 1.31 times as 

 long as wide, very slightly widest behind middle; bases separately 

 arcuate, humeral callus very small; sides nearly straight on less than 

 anterior three-fourths, very feebly diverging, then strongly narrowed, 

 with apex rather narrowly rounded ; surface subopaque ; striae moder- 

 ately impressed, strial punctures obscure, less so at sides; inter- 

 spaces wide, flat, finely reticulate, minutely punctate, otherwise un- 

 marked on disk; declivity moderately steep, its face somewhat flat- 

 tened; interspaces narrower than on disk, weakly convex, with nu- 

 merous small, irregularly arranged granules ; disk and sides glabrous, 

 declivity with numerous erect, yellow hairs, becoming uniseriate in 

 each interspace near apex.

Frons convex above, piceous, subopaque, reticulate, with fine punc- 

 tures; epistoma impressed, interocular area flattened, both finely, 

 rather closely punctured, with short, stout, erect, yellowish hairs 

 nearly concealing surface. Eye rather large, not approximate above, 

 inner line weakly emarginate, facets moderately coarse. Antenna of 

 usual tyx^e for genus; club rather j)ointed ovate, sutures transverse,
