moderately large. Antenna (pi. 30, fig. 16) with scape club shaped, 

 slightly flattened, longer than either funicle or club, ornamented 

 with a rather dense brush of long, light-colored hairs, which veil 

 f rons when antennae are extended ; funicle G-segmented, with pedicel 

 more than half as long as five distal segments together; club slightly 

 shorter than funicle, about 1.39 times as long as wide, sutures incom- 

 pletely outlined by setae. 



Pronotum only slightly wider than long, widest near base, posterior 

 outline nearly straight, posterior angles rounded; sides weakly arcu- 

 ate behind, feebly constricted in front of middle, anterior margin 

 moderately broad, weakly serrate; anterior area rather sparsely and 

 weakly asperate, with moderately fine and short hairs; summit mod- 

 erate ; posterior area horizontal, surface shining, distinctly reticulate, 

 with sparse, shallow, fine punctures, subglabrous. 



Elytra as wide as pronotum and 1.65 times as long, 1.55 times as 

 long as wide; sides subparallel on more than basal two-thirds, with 

 ends meeting to form a shallow emargination at suture, exposing 

 tip of abdomen ; surface moderately shining ; strial punctures strong, 

 in definite, regular, not impressed rows, bearing minute hairs; inter- 

 spaces of moderate width, rugulose and finely punctured on disk near 

 suture, becoming finely, uniseriately granulate behind, hairs moder- 

 ately short, rather stout; sides with strial punctures not so deep; 

 interspaces smoother, hairs less numerous. Declivity convex, strial 

 punctures as on disk, first stria impressed; interspaces uniseriately, 

 finely granulate, with short, erect, spatulate setae. 



Male. — Shorter and stouter than female, 1.09 mm. long, 2.23 times 

 as long as wide; frons transversely impressed below, surface sub- 

 opaque, reticulate, with fine punctures and fine, inconspicuous hairs; 

 pronotum with anterior margin bearing five serrations, asperities 

 stronger; elytra with spatulate setae longer at summit of declivity 

 and on third to sixth interspaces.
