Head mucli narrower than the thorax; clypeus rounded 

 in front, and almost completely without emargination in 

 the middle , coarsely and densely punctured , forehead rather 

 coarsely and not densely punctured. Thorax short , the 

 sides much rounded behind so that the hind angles have 

 completely disappeared , the front angles rather prominent , 

 the surface rather coarsely , moderately closely punctured , 

 the punctures on the middle finer and more distant. Scu- 

 tellum sparingly and obsoletely punctured , sometimes almost 

 without punctuation. Elytra not closely punctured , the 

 punctuation more distant near the suture , the sutural series 

 of punctures not very distinct, and its interstice bearing 

 a series of punctures , two indistinct series of punctures 

 between the suture and the shoulder, the two being widely 

 separated , and their interstice punctured , just inside the 

 shoulder is a second pair of series of punctures , but this pair is 

 not readily distinguished , and its interstice bears a series 

 of punctures, the punctures near the outer margin are 

 more regular and deeper. The. legs are rather long and slender. 

 The labrum bears numerous conspicuous coarse puncture 



The species varies somewhat in colour , the coppery tinge 

 of the uppersurface being sometimes not very remarkable.
