and abdomen , which is covered with a pale sericeous 

 pubescence. 



Head irregularly punctured , the ])osterior hali' of the 

 under surface transversely wrinkled ; the mandibles shaped 

 as in the genus Aromia but stouter and more strongly 

 curved; their 'tips, inuer edges and under surface smooth, 

 very glossy ; the antennae a little longer than the body , 

 stout ; the antennary tubers pointed at the top , separated 

 by a deep emargination , which shows at its bottom a 

 narrow but deep groove ending on the face in a smooth 

 transverse deep impression , and prolonged backwards as 

 an impressed line which is interrupted on the middle of 

 the vertex; in the emargination of the eyes the head is 

 deeply excavated; the three basal joints of the antennae 

 finely punctured ; the scape about as long as the 3rd 

 joint with a deep and well defined smooth excavation on 

 the under surface , the 3rd joint not quite l^/g as long as 

 the 4th, longitudinally furrowed beneath; the 4th joint 

 a little shorter than each of the three following joints 

 (which are equal in length), as long as the 8th which is 

 a little longer than the 9th or 10th; the apical (11th) 

 joint a little longer than the 5th, slightly sinuated, sub- 

 divided at two-thirds of its length; the fore side of the 

 5th-10th joints more or less prolonged at the tip. 



The prothorax very irregularly punctured , about as long 

 as broad at the base, armed with a pointed triangular 

 tubercle on the middle of the sides, the anterior margin 

 bent forward in the middle , the posterior margin straight ; 

 the disk raised , with two faint curved elevations : ( ) ; 

 the punctuation between these elevations very dense. The 

 scutellum of a triangular shape , smooth , impunctate , with 

 a longitudinal median line; it is impressed with uptur-

The elytra at the base much broader than the thorax, 

 regularly narrowed towards the end. They are opaque in 

 consequence of a very dense and fine sculpture, each of 

 them provided with three narrow slightly raised costae,
