10 PROCEEDINGS OP THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol.80 



Head transverse in front, deeply, transversely grooved behind the 

 epistoma, feebly, longitudinally grooved between the antennal 

 tubercles, which are slightly elevated and widely separated, surface 

 somewhat uneven, coarsely, irregularly punctate, more or less rugose, 

 and clothed with a few very short, inconspicuous hairs; eyes nearly 

 divided, separated from each other on the top by twice the width 

 of the upper lobe. Antenna slender, nearly four times as long as 

 the body, three or four basal joints scabrous, and clothed with a few 

 long hairs on the underside, following joints finely, densely punctate, 

 and rather densely clothed with very fine, short recumbent, yellowish 

 pubescence; first joint short, robust, and strongly clavate; third and 

 fourth joints subequal in length, and united twice as long as the first, 

 the following joints becoming gradually longer, and the eleventh 

 joint as long as the preceding three joints united. 



Pronotum nearly one and one-half times as wide as long, and 

 feebly wider at apex than at base ; sides arcuately rounded, and more 

 strongly constricted at base than at apex; surface uneven, without 

 distinct tubercles on disk or at lateral margins, coarsely, confluently 

 alveolate-punctate, nearly glabrous on disk, but sparsely clothed at 

 the sides with long, recumbent, whitish hairs. 



Elytra at base about equal in width to pronotum at middle; hu- 

 meri prominent, and slightly elevated; sides obliquely narrowed 

 from base to the tips, which are broadly truncate, and each with a 

 small, obtuse tooth at the sutural and lateral angles ; surface strongly 

 convex, densely punctate, the punctures becoming coarser and more 

 confluent toward the bases, uniformly, sparsely clothed with short, 

 erect, whitish hairs, and each elytron ornamented with two pairs 

 of distinctly separated, elongate, eburneous spots, the outer spot 

 of basal pair slightly shorter than the inner, and the inner spot of 

 the median pair a little shorter than the outer one. 



Body beneath sparsely clothed with long, inconspicuous hairs. 

 Prosternum more coarsely punctured than rest of underside. Middle 

 and posterior femora bispinose, with the spines subequal in length. 



Female. — Differs from the male in having the sides of the elytra 

 parallel to near the apices, antenna only slightly longer than the 

 body, with only the basal joint coarsely punctate, and joints 3 to 11 

 nearly equal in length, pronotum with a small, obtuse, lateral tooth 

 on each side at middle, and the underside of the body uniformly, 

 finely punctate.
