Moderately elongate and rather convex, the middle til)ia 

 thickly clothed with reddish hair u])on the upper face. The 

 antemial club is composed of three long lamell* preceded by 

 three short ones. The head is symmetrical, the supraorbital 

 ridges are rounded above and very slightly and bluntly 

 j)roduced at the front margin, and the imier marginal processes 

 are triangular, broad at the base and acute at the apex. The 

 frontal ridges are short and strongh' bisinuate, terminating in 

 front in a pair of strong tubercles not far apart. The j^ro- 

 notum is very smooth, without median groove and without 

 punctures, except in, or very near, the small roundish lateral 

 scars. The fine marginal groove is scarcely dilated at the sides 

 of the front margin. The elytra are not very long, rounded at 

 the sides, deeply groove<l dorsally, the outermost grooves very 

 minutely punctured and the imier ones unpunctured, and the 

 sides are sharj)ly carinate, with the intervals dull and sooty, 

 each with a more or less distinct row of deviated points. The 

 sides of the mentiim are very coarsely and closely punctured,
