the top by about two-thirds the width of the emargination of the 

 eyes in front, the lower lobes rounded and the upper lobes narrow. 

 Antennae about one and one-fourth times as long as the body, the 

 first four joints maculate with brownish and cinereous pubescence, 

 the following joints cinereous, and all the joints narrowly annulated 

 with dark brown at the base and apex; first joint slender, subcylin- 

 drical, gradually expanded toward apex, extending to basal fourth 

 of pronotum, and subequal in length to the third joint, which is 

 nearly a half longer than the fourth. 



Pronotum one-half wider than long, and the apex only slightly 

 wider than base; sides feebly rounded, only slightly more so, and 

 broadly arcuate medially, without any distinct prominence or tubercle ; 

 surface only feebly constricted along base and apex, the disk nearly 

 even, with only a slight evidence of tubercles, coarsely and rather 

 densely punctate, with a more distinct transverse row along the base 

 and apex, and irregularly, but not very densely clothed with recum- 

 bent yellowish-white pubescence, without any distinct darker mark- 

 ings. Scutellum slightly triangular, much wider than long, very 

 broadly rounded or subtruncate at apex, and the surface feebly con- 

 cave and sparsely pubescent. 



Elytra three-fourths longer than wide and one-third wider than 

 the pronotum ; humeri not prominent or elevated ; sides nearly paral- 

 lel to apical third, then strongly, arcuately attenuate to the tips, 

 which are obliquely truncate internally, with an obtuse but evident 

 external angle; surface regularly convex, deeply and irregularly 

 punctate, the punctures coarse and densely placed on basal region, 

 and becoming finer and sparser toward the apex, rather sparselj' 

 clothed with recumbent yellowish-white pubescence, with irregular 

 rows of small tubercles, which are densely clothed with longer j'^el- 

 lowish-white pubescence on the basal region, and intermixed with 

 dark brown pubescence toward the apex; each elytron ornamented 

 with two small irregularly shaped, dark brown spots at apical fifth, 

 of which the exterior spot is placed along the lateral margin slightly 

 behind the interior one. 



Beneath finely, densely punctate, and sparsely, irregularly clothed 

 with yellowish-white pubescence, which gives the surface a more or 

 less mottled appearance; tibiae annulated with brown at middle and 

 apex, and the tarsi and tarsal claws more or less brown; prosternal 

 process about three- fourths as wide as the coxal cavity; femora 

 strongly clavate. 



Length, 11 mm. ; width, 5 mm.
