Antennce with dense liglit brown scaling, the scape almost straight ; 

 the fuuicle with joint 2 longer than 1, 3 evidently longer than 4, 

 7 shorter than the club and slightly dilated towards apex. Pro- 

 thorax strongly transverse, subtruncate at base, apical lateral 

 margin with a small sharp projection below tlie eye ; upper sur- 

 face with a few irregular plications, the central furrow deep, not 

 reaching either base or apex. Scuielhim imperceptible. Elytra 

 broadly ovate, basal margin shallowly sinuate, humeral angles 

 obsolete, subhumeral prominence very slight, apices jointly rounded ; 

 upper surface not transversely impressed near base, with narrow 

 stride containing rows of round deep se])arated punctures, the 6th 

 stria reaching the base, the intervals broad, smooth and slightly 

 convex, the suture scarcely elevated posteriorly, more or less 

 sinuate before apex when viewed laterally. Legs with uniform 

 light brown scaling ; the tubercles on the hind tibiae of the J 

 well developed.

Head separated from the rostrum by a shallow impression dor- 

 sally and by a short oblique furrow on each side at some little 

 distance in front of the eye ; eyes quite lateral, ovate and rather 

 prominent. Bostrmn much longer than broad, without any cen- 

 tral furrow ; the scrobes entirely A'isible from above, extending 

 backwards from the apex as a deep and almost straight furrow for 

 fully half the length of the rostrum, then becoming wide and 

 shallow, the lower margin curving downwards as a sharp carina 

 towards the lower edge of the eye, the upper margin straight and 

 gradually vanishing ; the epistome forming a raised semi-circular 

 plate shallowly impressed in the middle and obtusely emarginate 

 in front ; mandibles projecting beyond the genas, with a sharp 

 median tooth and a somewhat prominent elevation bearing the 

 scar, which is narrowly lanceolate ; mentum trapezoidal, as long as 

 its width in front and narrowing behind, bare, with a row of four 

 short setae along the anterior edge; the submentum not peduncu- 

 late and bearing tw'O very long erect setae. Antennce with the 

 scape reaching the anterior margin of the prothorax; the funicle 

 vt'ithout scaling, the two basal joints elongate, the remainder bead- 

 like ; the club 4-jointpd, the hrst joint nearly as long as the rest 

 together, their edges transverse. SeuteUum absent. Eh/tra tuber- 

 culate, Avith the basal margin vertical, without humeral angles, 

 Mith 10 rows of foveas, the eighth not reaching the base, the lateral 

 margins very shallowly sinuate above the hind coxae. Legs slender, 

 till} femora clavate (the front pair rather more so than the others),
