laterally; apex feebly and broadly eniarginate, finely and more or less 

 distinctly margined ; sides rather strongly and quite evenly arcuate, 

 feebly narrowed behind and slightly oblique, margin acute and promi- 

 nent, marginal bead fine and thin, very narrowly reflexed ; base very 

 feebly rounded, finely and distinctly margined, about equal to the 

 apex; apical angles obtuse, not prominent nor rounded; basal angles 

 obtuse and not in the least prominent. 



Propleurm rather finely, sparsely and evenly muricato-granulate, 

 more or less rugulose. 



Elytra oval, less than twice as long as wide, widest at the middle ; 

 base transverse and not in the least margined ; humeri rounded ; sides 

 evenly arcuate, apex obtusely rounded but not broadly so ; disc 

 slightly convex on the dorsum, rather strongly and somewhat broadly 

 I'ounded laterally, arcuately declivous behind; surface somewhat 

 densely and scarcely subasperately punctate, the punctures about 

 equal in size and in evident, rather closely placed series, laterally 

 submuricate and irregular. 



EpipleuTOi moderate in width, not dilated beneath the humeri, grad- 

 ually narrowing from base to apex, superior margin not visible from 

 above ; surface smooth, dull, and obsoletely punctate. 



Sterna and parapleural more or less densely but not coarsely punc- 

 tate.

 mutic and more or less sinuate beneath in outer fifth; spurs of the 

 protibise similar in the sexes, the anterior slightly longer than the 

 posterior, both quite slender and acute; anterior tarsi quite alike in 

 the sexes, first joint moderately thickened and prominent beneath at 

 apex, groove obliterated.

 convex and usually distinctly concave at middle on first three seg- 

 ments. 



/^e//ia^e.— Moderately robust. Antenna? attaining the posterior 

 third of the prothorax. Elytra rather broadly oval, evenly and arcu- 

 ately, but not vertically declivous posteriorly. Abdomen quite 

 strongly convex and feebly flattened at middle toward base.
