Long. 3 Jin. 

 Hab. : Babia. 



Front concave ; antennro one-third the length of the body, tlurd joint nearly 

 equal in length to the first and second, fourtli and fifth nearly equal, each one-third 

 shorter than the third. Thorax nearly one-third broader than long, sides straight 

 and parallel at the base, slightly sinuate at the middle, thence rounded and converging 

 to the apex, anterior angles obtuse, hinder acute ; surface -within the sutural border 

 broadly excavated from the base to the middle, excavated portion and the basal half 

 of the disc impressed with large round variolose punctures, rest of the surface nearly 

 free from punctures ; basal lobe separated from the disc by a transverse groove. 

 Scutellum broader than long, pentagonal, all its angles obtuse, surface smooth, im- 

 pressed with two transverse grooves. Elytra broader than the thorax, sides parallel, 

 apex regularly rounded, apical border obsoletely serrulate, above minutely granidose- 

 reticulate, their colour deeper and brighter than the thorax, regularly punctate-striate.

 Hab. : Para, Santarem. 



Front concave, space between the antennsD occupied by a longitudinal ridge ; 

 antennae equal in length to the head and thorax, robust, three lower joints nearly 

 equal in length. Thorax rather broader than long, sides straight and nearly parallel, 

 very slightly converging from base to apex, hind angles acute ; anterior margin 

 distinctly notched on either side close to the anterior angle, the latter incurved, 

 obtuse ; placed in the middle of each notch is a small tubercle, only visible under a 

 deep lens ; upper surface shining, impressed with large, round, variolose punctures, 

 remote on the disc, rather more crowded on the sides. Scutellum transverse, sub- 

 pentagonal, lateral angles obtuse, the apical one slightly produced, acute. Elytra 

 broader than the thorax, parallel, rounded, and converging near the apex, the latter 

 obtuse, apical border minutely serrate ; upper surface moderately convex, smooth, 

 impressed on the basal half with fine, irregular, transverse strigae ; regularly but 

 not coarsely punctate-striate, interspaces not thickened. Apical segment of abdomen 

 broadly tnuicate-emarginate, the emargination occupying nearly the whole width 

 of the apex.
