long, with the front margin straight and the posterior margin 

 regularly rounded. The scutellum is strongly punctured and the 

 elytra sparingly and irregularly punctured, without striae or costae ; 

 they are considerably broader across the shoulders than the pro- 

 thorax, very feebly sinuated at the sides and a little narrowed to 

 the extremities. The pygkl'mm is small, coarsely and thickly 

 ])unctured and a little depressed iu the middle. The metasternum 

 is rather strongly punctured, the abdomen feebly rugose and the 

 terminal spiracle on each side strongly elevated. The tihkn are 

 rather long and a little incurved, and all the tarsi extremely short 

 and compact. 



I have not seen the male.

Black, smooth and not very shining, coarsely and moderately 

 closely punctured above and beneath. 



The body is long and narrow and rather depressed. The head 



is closely punctured, Avith the 

 eyes very small and inconspicuous, 

 the front margin of the clypeus 

 slightly excised and reflexed, and 

 the mentum and the basal joint 

 of the antenna very large, feebly 

 punctured and shining. The 

 pronoturn is strongly punctured, 

 not very convex, rather broader 

 than long and a little narrower 

 than the elytra. Its posterior 

 half is semicircular and the an- 

 terior half slightly narrowed to 

 the front, with the sides nearly 

 straight. The ■scutellum bears a 

 few large punctures and the elytra are thickly and closely punc- 

 tured, the punctures being elongate and showing a tendency to 

 form longitudinal rows ; the sides are reflexed but not sinuated. 

 The pyyidiimi is broad and convex and, like the metasternum and 

 abdomen, is coarsely pitted. The last pair of spiracles is very 

 slightly elevated. The legs are very short, the front tibia' feebly 

 bident'ate, and the middle and Jdnd tibia' each bear a sharp spine 

 at the middle of the outer edge. All the tarsi are very short, but 

 the articulations are distinct. 



cJ . The abdomen is shallowly grooved beneath and the front 

 tibia bears a hook-like ventral process at its extremity. 

 Length lO-lO'O mm. ; breadth 4 mm.
