Th»' anterior iimrpin of the hibnim is very (U't'iily iiu-i.-MHl. The mundible.-^ ea< h have 

 three well .levelojuMl terminal teeth. The central tuhenle i.s massive, the inner tulHT(le> 

 anil parietal ridges are ohsolete. The nu-dian groove of the pronotum i> pra« tinilly 

 complete. The marginal gnM)Vc.s are alirnptly terminated and deeply impressed near the 

 anterior angles. The .snitellum is more or less densely puneture<l, except in the midille line 

 and the anterior angles. The mesothoraeic epist«'rna are glossy and «lensely ptuutured, 

 except in the posterior angles, v. hich are extensively matt. The mesosternum is 

 unpuncturetl and hairless (except in the anterior angle): it may be wholly matt or 

 partially glossy. The metasternum is covered with hair-bearing punctures oidy in the 

 anterior parts of the anterior intermediate areas and in the lateral areas, but there are 

 some larger hairless punctures near the posterior margin. The abdominal sterna are .smooth. 

 The elvtra are hairless; their grooves are strongly punctured, especially laterally. The 

 middle and hind tibiae are without spitu's Iwfore the end.

The labrum is le.ss deeply incised than in tiic |)Hi cdm^ .-pti 10. and the parietal ridge* 

 are distinct. The scutellum may be entirely covered with punctures. The me.sosternum 

 is entirely matt, with a few hair-bearing punctures on either side of the middle line and along 

 the outer nwirgins. The anterior intermediate areas of the metasternum are entirely 

 covered with huir-Waring punctures. The grooves of the elytra are le.ss strongly punctured 

 than in 'he preceding .species, which this one re.senddes in characters not mentioned.

The labnim is ileeplv inci.sed. as in I', fnrriloltriii. an<l is very strongly depressed behind 

 the inciMion. The mandibles re.sendile those of other members of the genus. The inner 

 tultercleji are well developed, and the |>art of the head in front of them is short and almost 

 vertical. The central tubenle has a .slender free ajwx. and the parietal ridges, though small, 

 are complete. The median griM)ve of the pronotum does not nearly reach the anterior
