 concoaUng its sculptui'e. Head with the sides of the clypcus much raised, depressed 

 and emarginato in front, its surface uneven, the front part but little punctured, the

 short, the front angles prominent, the sides serrate, the middle part like the head 

 brown in colour, the sides yellowish, the sculpture of the centre rough but indistinct, 

 the sides nearly smooth. Scutellum elongate, smooth, and shining. Elytra very 

 convex, yellowish, irregularly maculated with brown, with four costse ; the internal
