Clypeus bare, plane or broadly and very feebly tumid at the middle 

 of its apical third; anterior and lateral margins strongjly, though not 

 abruptly, elevated; position of lateral incisure very faintly or not at all 

 indicated; elevated margin viewed perpendicularly, moderately arcuate at the 

 middle and very broadly and evenly rounded at the corners, viewed at an 

 angle from above with both the middle and corners slightly more prominent, 

 making the anterior margin appear slightly bisinuate ; surface of clypeus 

 with rather small, deep punctures, separated by about half their own diam- 

 eters. Front with the punctures separated by one to two times their own diam- 

 eters, and with a row of about i8 coarse, setigerous punctures following 

 the nearly obsolete clypeal suture and inner eye margins. Eyes and an- 

 tennal clubs rather small. Measurements of head : diameter of head through 

 eyes, 20.3 ; distance between inner eye margins, 14 ; length of head on 

 median line, 15; extreme width of anterior reflexed margin, 11; antennal 

 club, 7.6 ; dorso-ventral diameter of eye, 6.5. 



Pronotum distinctly convex, with sides strongly and almost evenly 

 arcuate from base to apex, posterior angles very obtusely rounded ; punctura- 

 tion a little less strong and dense than on the head, the average distance 

 between the punctures being from one to two times their own diameters ; 

 apical and lateral margins of pronotum with a row of erect sets. Meas- 

 urements of pronotum : greatest width, 35.3 ; width through anterior angles, 

 21.7; length on median line, 21.5. 



Elytra with the striae narrow and shallow, each with a somewhat con- 

 fuscfl double row of punctures ; interspaces broat^lly and feebly convex, the 

 second, fourth and sixth a little wider and more numerously punctate than 

 the others ; both the strise and the wider interspaces bearing irregular rows 

 of erect, ochraceous hairs. Length of elytra, 62, greatest width, 42. 



Metasternum and posterior coxal plates moderately punctured, the punc- 

 tures separated by about their own diameters. Abdominal sternites less 

 strongly and closely punctured, the ambulatorial setae poorly developed, scarcely 

 distinguishable from the fine semi-recumbent sternal hairs. Thoracic sternum, 

 basal portion of middle and front legs, and submentum fairly well clothed 

 with rather long erect, ochraceous hairs. 



Genital armature of male (PI. XX) 2.5 mm. in length and considerably 

 resembling that of elongatula Horn. 



5. Differs from the male in having slightly smaller eyes (6 instead of 

 6.5) and smaller antennal clubs (6 instead of 7.6). The under line of the 

 abdomen more convex than in the male and the erect, ochraceous hairs 

 slightly longer, more numerous and shaggy in appearance.
