 apex: sides nearly parallel, feebly, arcuately expanded behind mid- 

 dle, then arcuately narrowed to the tips, which are separately rather 

 broadly rounded ; disk strongly, transversely depressed on basal half, 

 strongly convex posteriorly, each elytron armed with a distinct basal

ry/>^.— U.S.N.M. no. 50982.

 with two yellowish brown spots and armed with a distinct basal
