 and more or less obsoletely margined; sides evenly, broadly and 

 moderately arcuate from base to apex when A'iewed vertically from 

 above, more strongly so in the anterior three-fourths when viewed 

 obliquely from the side and obsoletely sinuate before the basal angles, 

 margin finely beaded; hasc broadly arcuate, quite finely margined, 

 and about one-fourth to one-third wider than the apex; apical angles 

 more or less subacute ; basal angles obtuse. 



Pt'opleurw smooth, finely and sparsely punctulate, more or less 

 sparsely rugulose. 



Elytra oval, widest at the middle, rather strongly emarginate at 

 the base and equal to or a little wider than the contiguous base of

 evenly arcuate, apex obtuse and rather narrowly rounded ; disc mod- 

 erately convex on the dorsum, strongly and evenly rounded laterally, 

 evenly and rather strongly arcuately declivous posteriorly, punctate, 

 punctures moderate in size and arranged in moderately distant, 

 scarcely impressed series; intervals more or less irregularly and 

 sparsely punctulate, especially along the suture, laterally the series 

 usually remain distinct. 



Epipleurw rather wider than in ccirhonaria^ and gradually narrow- 

 ing from base to apex; superior nuirgin feebly and broadly sinuate 

 beneath the humeri; surface smooth, sparsely and irregularly punc- 

 tulate. 



Sterna shining, irregularly punctate and more or less rugulose. 



Parapleurm irregularly and more or less closely punctate. 



Abdomen shining, evenly and sparsely punctate, usually obsoletely 

 rugulose; intercoxal process more strongly sculptured. 



Legs moderate as in carhonaria. Anterior femora mutic in the 

 sexes; anterior tibial spurs comparatively small and slightly dissimi- 

 lar in the sexes, the anterior spur but slightly longer than the pos- 

 terior. Anterior tarsi with the first joint feebly thickened at tip 

 beneath and slightly dissimilar in the sexes. 



Male. — Body moderately slender, elongate-subovate. Elytra grad- 

 ually narrowing, arcuately and somewhat obliquely declivous pos- 

 terioi-ly. Abdomen slightly oblique, moderately convex, more or less 

 broadly impressed at middle of the first two segments, intercoxal 

 process distinctly concave. Anterior spur of the anterior tibiie grad- 

 ually narrowing from base to apex. First joint of the anterior tarsi 

 with a small pencil of modified spinules surrounded by ordinary 

 spinules on the thickened tip beneath.
