width through anterior angles, 26; length on median line, 22. Scutellum 

 closely and strongly punctured; length, 9.5; width, 10. 



Elytra rather strongly furrowed, the sulci with three very much confused 

 rows of coarse, closely placed punctures, the costae well rounded and with a 

 few scattered punctures, especially on the second, fourth and sixth ; length, 

 75 ; width, 50. 



Mctastcrnum and posterior coxal plates rather strongly and closely punc- 

 tured, the puncturation usually denser toward the sides. Abdominal stcrnites 

 with rather numerous but finer punctures, the single rows of coarse punctures 

 bearing the ambulatorial seta: well marked, but the setae small and inconspicu- 

 ous. Fourth sternite usually with a distinct, median, longitudinal impression 

 near which the punctures show a tendency to develop into longitudinal wrinkles 

 or little grooves ; these modifications well marked to nearly obsolete. Last 

 sternite opaque. 



Genital annature of male (PIr IX) symmetrical, length 2.4 mm. 



5. Differs from the male in the much smaller antcnnal club (5 instead 

 of 10.5), the much less developed or obsolete clypeal notch, and the more 

 convex, and unmodified abdominal sternites.
