Very shining, not very elongate, slightly convex. The head 

 is strongly punctured, its front edge bears five equidistant 

 teeth, the middle one short, the four outer ones long, nearly 

 equal and almost level ; the median area is not xevy strongly 

 transverse ; the supraorbital elevations are toothed in front, 

 short and usually not connected with the parietal ridge. The 

 pronotum is strongl}' transverse ; the sides converge a little to 

 the front ; the front angles are rather sharp, the hind angles 

 rather broadly rounded, and the sides are strongly and 

 sometimes very closely jjunctured. The dytra are not very 

 flat, they are very dcepl}' grooved dor.-allj^, the grooves being 

 very finely punctured and the intervals convex. The sides of 

 the elytra have a scalariform sculpture. The middle area of 

 the metasternum is distinctly punctured, sometimes upon the 

 greater part of its surface, sometimes with scattered punctures 

 only, and the secondary lateral depressions are sometimes 

 rather closely and sometimes scantily punctured. The 

 ventral sternites have large or small finely pinictured area on 

 each side, and the temiinal one is sometimes entirely 

 punctured.
