Siibovate, about twice as long as Avide, more or less shining, thorax 

 rather coarsely but not confluentiy punctate, evenly rounded at the 

 -^ides and distinctly constricted at the base; elytra oval, one-fourth to 

 one-third longer than wide, coarsel}' punctate at middle, submuricato- 

 granulate laterally and on apex. 



Head twice as wide as long, feebly convex, more or less impressed 

 laterally, sometimes more or less so along the frontal suture, which 

 is more or less obsoletely indicated; irregularly and rather coarsely 

 punctate, punctures sparse on vertex and center of frons, small im- 

 punctate areas frequently present, denser on the sides and epistoma. 

 Antenna' somewhat long and rather slender, feebly compressed and 

 slightly widened in outer four joints, third joint hardly as long as 

 the next two taken together, fourth scarcely longer than the fifth, 

 the latter to the eighth inclusive subequal, the eighth subtriangular, 

 ninth triangulo-oval, tenth just the least transversely oval, eleventh 

 short-ovate and as long as wide. 



Pi'oiwtirm somewhat transversely oblong-oval, two-fifths to a half 

 wider than long, widest at about the middle; disc evenly and moder- 

 ately convex, somewhat arcuately declivous at the apical angles, quite 

 densely, irregularly, and coarsely punctate, punctures not confluent, 

 becoming granulate at the sides; apex evenly but not deeply emar- 

 ginate, and more or less obsoletely and finely margined ; sideH evenly 

 and broadly rounded, strongly constricted at about basal sixth, thence 

 more or less straight and parallel to the basal angles, marginal bead 

 thin and fine, feebly reflexed, becoming a mere line on the constriction ; 

 hase truncate, rather coarsely or indistinctly margined, equal to or 

 slightly wider than the apex and about equal to the length; apical 

 angles ol)tuse and not prominent, frequently more or less feebly 

 rounded ; basal angles more or less rectangular. 



Profleurm smooth, very sparsely and finely punctato-granulate, 

 more or less feebly rugulose. 



Eh/tra oval, widest at the middle, a fourth to a third longer than 

 wide; hase subtruncate, distinctly wider than the contiguous pro- 

 thoracic base; humeri rounded, more or less obtusely so, not promi- 

 nent; sides evenly arcuate, apex not ver}^ narrowly rounded; disc 

 moderately convex, not distinctly flattened on the dorsum, strongly 

 and not very broadly rounded laterally, inflexed jjortion but feebly 

 convex, arcuately declivous posteriorly, coarsely punctate, punctures 

 quite simple on either side of the suture and Avithout any sign of order,
