 fusco-Jlavis ; pedibus Jlavis. 



Long. corp. 2 lin., lat. 11 lin. 



Ovate, suborbicular, subpubescent, flavous. Head short, and hardly 

 produced ; below the base of the antennae is a transverse triangular 

 impression ; between the eyes is an obsolete T-shaped fovea ; eyes 

 tolerably large, globose, situated at the base of the head ; surface 

 punctate. Thorax transverse (almost quadrate), rectangular; the 

 anterior angles depressed and subacute ; at the base is a broad trans- 

 verse postmedial depression : the surface is finely but thickly pubes- 

 cent, flavous ; at the margins more distinctly flavo-pubescent. Scu- 

 tellum obsolete, flavous. Elytra subglobose, considerably broader 

 than the thorax, punctate-striate, thickly clothed throughout with 

 pubescence ; flavous, with two suffused transverse bands (which be- 

 come obsolete near the suture) and another near the apex (which is 

 continued throughout) flavo- testaceous. Antennae filiform, tolerably 

 robust, flavous, with the seventh and eighth and also the eleventh 

 joints fusco-flavous. Legs flavous throughout.

Long. corp. 2\ lin., lat. 1-^- lin. 



Oblong-ovate, broad, robust, finely pubescent, deeply punctate, of a 

 dark ferrugineous colour throughout. Head transverse, deflected and 

 slightly but broadly produced in front ; between the labrum and the 

 base of the antennoe the siuface is transversely depressed ; immediately 

 above the base of the antennae are two minute but very distinct 

 tubercles, above which the surface is coarsely granulated : eyes tole- 

 rably large, situated at the base of the head, extending laterally not 

 quite so far as the anterior angles of the thorax : the surface (except 

 at the base) is glabrous and rufo-ferrugineous ; at the base darkly 

 piceous. Thorax broader than the head, transverse, rectangidar, at 

 the sides very finely marginate ; the surface (when compared with 

 other species in this group) is almost equate ; two almost obsolete
