 pronotum and elytra very densely, subrugosely punctured. The

 prominent. The pronotum is very short, well rounded at the 

 sides, the front angles nearly right angles and rather blunt, the 

 hind angles very obtuse. The elytral costa) are narrow and not

 with the hind margin of the propygidium, which is sharply 

 elevated. The front tibia is rather long and armed with three 

 sharp teeth ; the longer claw is minutely cleft at the extremity in 

 the front and middle feet, and the shorter claw of the hind foot 

 is reduced to a vestige. The antennae are long.

 and the second nearer to the first than to the third, the hind tibia 

 rather inflated ; and the apical part of the pygidium is smooth 

 and shining.
