 the body is more robust, the head more strongly impressed 

 above and hairy at the sides , the basal apophyses of 

 the rostrum are more conspicuous, the prothorax is wider, 

 feebly punctured and hairy, with the basal margin punc- 

 tato-crenate , the coxae are punctured , etc.

 coxae , being punctured and hairy , but it differs from it 

 by the color , by the body being more robust and hairy , 

 and by the prothorax being slightly punctured, with the 

 basal margin differently shaped; the sculpture of the ely- 

 tra is also different.
