 parallel from apex to middle, arcuately narrowed to basal third, 

 where they are strongly constricted, then nearly parallel to the

 ruptly depressed on basal third; surface sparsely, finely granulose 

 anteriorly, smooth posteriorly, and clothed with a few long, fine, 

 erect, white hairs. Scutellum very small, elongate, and rather acute 

 at apex. 



Elytra one and three-fourths times as long as pronotum, at base 

 slightly wider than pronotum at apical third, and widest at apical 

 third; sides slightly diverging from base to apical third, then ar- 

 cuately narrowed to the tips, which are conjointly, broadly rounded; 

 disk strongly convex posteriorly, slightly depressed on basal third; 

 surface nearly glabrous, except in the scutellar regions, where it is 

 coarsely, densely punctate, sparsely and irregularly clothed with long, 

 rather stiff, erect, white hairs. 



Abdomen beneath feebly, sparsely punctate, sparsely clothed with 

 short, recumbent, inconspicuous hairs ; last segment broadly rounded 

 at apex. Prosternum feebly punctate, feebly, transversely rugose 

 anteriorly, and clothed with a few inconspicuous, erect hairs; pro-
