 their hind edges not so much prolonged ; the mandibles 

 as in laevicoUis, but their horn-shaped dorsal process less 

 curved , dilated inwards and slightly emarginate at the top. 



The prothorax as in laevicoUis , but the punctuation of 

 the sides fine and spread , and the lateral margins straight , 

 not emarginate beyond the flattened anterior angles. The 

 anterior tibiae with six teeth on the outer margin , and 

 the four hind tibiae with a rather strong central spine 

 preceded by two more minute spines. 



The elytra as in laevicoUis , but the sulci narrower and 

 the foveae in their bottoms small, circular and distinct 

 from one another. 



The punctuation of the under surface of the body not quite 

 as strong as in laevicoUis; the prosternum in front of the 

 space between the anterior coxae plane , not carinated.
