 longitudinal rows of punctures, elsewhere with only a few scattered punc- 

 tures on the sides, together with the head the surface is finely reticulate; 

 elytra somewhat longer than pronotum, with much finer punctation than in 

 nana , around scutellum with few, very fine and scattered punctures, at mid- 

 dle and especially toward hind corners somewhat denser and more distinctly 

 punctated; abdomen smooth. L. 1.5 mm. 



In the o the fifth free dorsal joint of abdomen before posterior margin 

 with a transverse row of four or six granules, the sixth in posterior mar-
