 the others black, tliird, fourth and fiftli joints slender, equal, the 

 following ones slightly thickened, but longer than broad, thorax 

 more than twice as broad as long, the sides slightly rounded 

 and narrowed in front, the anterior portion ratlier strongly de- 

 tlexed, the posterior margin produced at the middle into a short 

 point, the surface very sparingly impressed with round punctures 

 which are more distinct and closely placed at the base, forming 

 also a transv(M'se row near the posterior margin, scutellura nar- 

 rowly lanceolate, elytra with rather strong and widely placed 

 punctured striae which remain distinct to the apex, each row 

 l)eing marked at the Ijase by a deeper impressed puncture, the 

 interstices smooth , the last two at the sides, convex, pygidium 

 not covered by the elytra, underside black, the presternum 

 broader than long, its base straight, its surface finely pnnctured, 

 legs fulvous.

 black, deeply punctate-striate.

Of somewhat liroad , subquadrate shape , the eyes occupying 

 the entire upper portion of the head and sides , contiguous at 

 the vertex, clypeus fiavous, distinctly and rather closely punc- 

 tured, antennae extending to the middle of the elytra, black, 

 the lower three joints more or less distinctly fulvous, the third,
