Dull chocolate-brown, with an inconspicuous dotiiing, 

 es[)ccially at the sides of the elytra, of minute erect seta', the 

 (ibia^ and tarsi conspicuously fringed with jtale yellow hair. 

 Xarr-ow, parallel-sided. The eyes moderately large. The 

 front angles of the ])ronotum strongly but l)luntly produced, 

 the sides |)arallel, rather sti-aight to far beyond the middle, 

 whci-c they arc sharply but not acutely angulate, and straight 

 from there to the very obtuse hind angles. The prosternum 

 not elevated behind but broad and flat. 



9- Moderately shining. The head is strongly and closely 

 punctured, the eyes almost divided by the canthus, which is 

 fairly ])roininent laterally. The pwitolnm is strongly and 

 closely and rather evenly i)uncturcd, but a little less strongly, 

 and closely in the anterior dorsal i)art than elsewhere. The 

 (Ifllni are v(mv dec[)ly striate, the strife closely punctured 

 and the intervals narrow, shining and unequal, but with a 

 broad, very irregularly punctured interval next to the sutural 

 one. The sides and apices are very closely punctured and 

 setose. The abdomen is strongly punctured and shining. 

 I'he front tibia is stout, and has a short terminal fork. 1'lie 

 middle and hind til)ia have each a strong lateral spine. 



j'. Narrowly elongate, with rather slender legs. The surfac(,' 

 is dull. The Itead is moderately long, the front angles very 

 blunt, the canthus extending past the middle of the eye, the 

 sich's gently rounded behind the eye. The sides of tlu^ head 

 are strongly ])ututured, the middle generally very sparsely 

 puiutured. The cly[)eal process is very short and trilobed. 

 The pronotiim is short, closelj- punctured at the sides and 

 usually over the whole surfoce. The eli/fra, are finely and 

 (h'nsely reticulate-punctate, with slight indications of longi- 

 tudinal stria\ and the shoulders are sharply angulate. The 

 (tJidoiiien is strongly punctured and shining at the sides and 

 the last stcrnite is closely setose. The front tit>ia has a nairow 

 tciniinal fork, the middle tibia a small lateral spine and the 

 hind tibia none oi- only a very minute one,
