 transverse-quadrute, dilated in the middle, polished, densely 

 punctured, lateral edge curved regularly to the hind angles, dor-

 the elytra; elytra dark purple, opake, with numerous very min-

 terior angles, and by the more deeply cmarginated labrum. Not 

 uncommon. 



[Belongs to Anomoi/lossus Chaud., a genus which differs from 

 Chlituius by the absence of the mcntum tooth. — Lec]
