 The median groove is strong and complete. The siars are puncture<l, and there may l»e a

 and hairv. hut the hair is not very long. The mesosternum is Nmooth and glossy, with 

 large and deepiv imjiressed roughened st-ars. The anterior interme<liate area.s of the 

 meta.sternum are .somewhat coarsely and sparsely, anil the lateral areas more finely 

 and den.se.y punctured and hairy, the latter being, however, to .some extent roughened 

 and hairle.s."* behind. A .somewhat extensive patch of close, coarse, hairle.s.s punctures in

 of finer hair-bearing punctures extends from behind this patch outwards along the 

 po-sterior margin to the posterior angles. The elytra are hairless, with the lateral 

 groove.s .stronglv and the dorsal somewhat more weakly punctured.
