Compact and convex, with broad elytra, very smooth and 



shining, and almost devoid of hair. The head and pronotum 



are finely, evenly and densely punctured. 



The sides of the pronotum are strongly

still more so. The front tibia is armed with 



two sharp teeth, and the longer front and middle claws are cleft. 



S . The clypeus is shining and sparingly punctured, strongly 



dilated and retlexed in front, with the front margin notched in 



the middle aud produced outwardly on each side. The front 



tibia is broad, its teeth extremely sharp, the front tarsus greatly 



shortened and thickened, the last joint very large, and the inner 



claw dilated and bent at the base. 



2 . The clypeus is rugosely punctured and not shining, rather 

 broad and rectangular, with its front margin nearly straight and 

 strongly reflexed. The elytra are dilated and thickened near the 

 middle of the outer margins.

It is ovate and convex, smooth and shining, with only a very 

 fine and scanty clothing of hairs upon the lower surface. The 

 head and pronotum are finely and rather evenly, but not closely, 

 punctured. The latter is strongly rounded at the sides, the front 

 angles are nearly right angles, but not sharp, the hind angles are 

 nearly obsolete, and the base is gently aud uniformly rounded in 

 a single curve, with a fine marginal line, which is interrupted 

 in the middle. The scutellum bears a few fine punctures, and the 

 elytra have each seven rather closely placed dorsal rows of strong 

 aud close punctures, the second row disrupted at the base ; the 

 membranous margin is moderately broad. The pygidium and 

 metasternum are rather coarsely punctured. Tlie front tibia is
