femora pitchy-black for the entire apical half, and the corresponding 

 tibisB suffused with pitchy-black for more than half their length ; the 

 00X88 pitchy-red, the metasternum rather coarsely, but somewhat ob- 

 Boletely, punctui'ed ; the antennse, with the basal joint, testaceous, the 

 thorax not so closely punctured, the elytra not so strongly punctured, 

 and rather more uneven, and the abdomen very finely and closely 

 punctured. 



In the male the sixth segment beneath has a deep triangular notch, 

 and the fourth is slightly depressed in the middle, with a faint semi- 

 circular emargination in its hinder edge ; the second and third segments 

 are also depressed in a less degree. In the female the sixth segment 

 has its posterior margin very slightly produced in the middle.

 brownish. Thorax, with the interstices, rugulose. Elytra scarcely
