The head, pronotum and elytra extremely finely shagreened in surface 

 and their gloss thereby feebly dulled. The head (Fig. 73) is proportion- 

 ately large, as broad as pronotum, broadly square with straight, posteri- 

 orly parallel sides and rather large, slightly protruding eyes and rigth-

 angular hind corners, posteriorly almost evenly truncated and with finely 

 bounded posterior margin, dorsally flat and often slightly impressed at 

 middle, punctation especially fine, often indistinct and sparse^ genae 

 immarginate. The antennae fully as long as head and pronotum together, 

 smoothly thickened distally, their first joint robust, the second and 

 third both short, but the third shortest, obconical, the middle and next- 

 last joints (4-10) of same length, the middle ones feebly, the next-last 

 a little more distinctly transverse, about 1^ times as broad as long, the 

 distal joint comparatively thick, with obtuse tip, as long as the two pre- 

 ceding joints together. Pronotum anteriorly scarcely as broad es elytra, 

 about as long as broad, feebly narrowing posteriorly, with anteriorly feeb- 

 ly rounded sides, dorsally flat, punctation particularly fine and very is- 

 olated and often with a slight, broad impression along the middle; elytra 

 amply l^/.? times as long as pronotum, punctated about same as this, flat; 

 abdomen more glistening than the forebody, with very fine simple puncta- 

 tion, its first four free dorsal joints rather deeply transvereally grooved 

 at base, the fifth as long as or a little longer than the fourth. L. l.£-2mm. 



Tn the O the next-last ventral joint of abdomen somewhat elongate and 

 broadly rounded off at tip.
