 yellowish ; clypeus deeply and somewhat rugosely punctured, trun- 

 cate in front in the male, sinuate in the female, suture fairly distinct, 

 punctures on the head not as rugose as on the clypeus, and separated 

 from each other by a space equal to their diameter ; prothorax more 

 attenuated laterally in the anterior than in the posterior part, 

 bulging and rounded in the middle, very slightly convex, with the 

 margins not reflexed, and covered with round, not contiguous 

 punctures more closely set on the sides than on the disk, and 

 slightly deeper in the male than in the female ; scutellum ogival, 

 finely punctate laterally ; elytra plainly callose close to the humeral 

 angle, slightly sinuate there, and thence very slightly ampliated, 

 moderately convex, and with two dorsal costules on each side, the 

 suture is raised, and the intervals are filled with round punctures 

 with smooth intervals nearly equal in width to the diameter of 

 the punctures, the latter are seriate on the sides ; apical part of pro-
