either side of fclie disc, just behind the anterior border, is a large shallow excavation. 

 Scutellura sub-quadrate, its apex broadly emargiiiate. Elytra much broader than 

 the thorax, puiietate-striate, the punctures large, rotundate, deeply impressed. 

 Hinder thighs distinctly thickened, unarmed. Abdomen sliining, very sparingly 

 clothed with short adpressed hairs, fulvous ; nearly the whole of the basal segment, 

 a small spot on either side of each of the three following segments, and a transverse

Vertex smooth, impunctate, neck constricted, front bordered on either side by 

 the usual oblique gi'oove, its surface thickened, impressed at its upper end with a
