 punctures coalescing along the scutellar part, and the rest of the 

 surface is coriaceous ; propygidium and pygidium finely plicate 

 transversely, pygidium convex in the male, the lower part deeply 

 and roundly impressed at apex in the female ; under side closely

Black, moderately shiny; clypeus slightly sinuate in front, very 

 closely and somewhat roughly foveolate punctate, the occipital keel 

 well denned ; prothorax marginate laterally and ampliate rounded 

 from the median part to the base the angles of which are broadly 

 rounded, plainly sulcate longitudinally on the disk from the base to 

 about the median part, and having a conspicuous marginal but not 

 transverse impression on each side of the base, the surface is covered 

 with round punctures divided by a smooth interval equal to their own 

 diameter ; scutellum longitudinally strigillate ; elytra not very much 

 broader than the prothorax at its widest part, each one plainly quadri- 

 costate with the costae tectiform and the intervals indistinctly striate, 

 the intervals, the costae, and the sides are deeply and moderately 

 closely punctate ; each puncture bears a minute hair ; pygidium 

 strigillate, convex in the male, but having in the female a deep, broad, 

 transverse depression the upper edge of which is deeply incised ; 

 abdomen and pectus very closely scabrose punctate, and both densely 

 pubescent ; legs normal in either sex.
