as far as the front of the head ; 2nd^ the length of the 1st, obconic ; 

 3rd stout, much longer than the 1st and 2nd together ; 4th subfusiform. 

 Eyes rather large, prominent. Rostnim reaching to the end of the 

 metasternum, thin, 2nd joint longest ; rostral channel narrow, deep, 

 the sides raised. 



Thorax. — Tronotum nearly equally 5-sided ; sides divergent from 

 the anterior to the hinder angles, then convergent to the apex ; scu- 

 tellar process very short ; hood wanting ; anterior margin broadly 

 tumid, sub-reticulate ; side margins projecting, reflexed, with 1 or 

 more rows of meshes ; scutellar process short ; disk with 3 keels, the 

 middle one extending the whole length, the side ones abbreviated in 

 front. Elyt7'a\ougev than the abdomen, convex ; discoidal cells long, 

 narrow, sub-elliptic, pointed at each end ; Clavus partly visible. 

 Sternum ; the segments with parallel margins ; the rosti'al channel 

 but little widened on the metasternum, its sides slightly raised.

Thorax. — Pronotum black, all the margins brown ; side margins 

 sinuate, in front broadest, with 2 rows, at and beyond the middle with 

 1 row, of small, rounded meshes ; hinder angles rounded ; scutellar 

 process pointed, the sides rounded and finely reticulate ; disk finely 

 punctured, broadly convex in the middle, deflected before and behind; 

 in front, behind the anterior margin, depressed ; keels shallow, 

 gradually a little deeper, rounded postei'iorly. Elytra long oval ; 

 anterior margin much reflexed, narrow, a little widened at the base 

 and beyond the middle, with 1 row of small meshes ; inner margins 

 straight, not touching each other at the base, but gradually approxi- 

 mate and overlapping each other, leaving at the base a long, trian-
