 characters of the O • 



Deeply black, a little glistening; abdomen with w=*¥fi extremely short 

 hair, the thorax scarcely haired; maxillary palpi yellow with brownish tip. 



The head (Fig. 144) is broader than pronotum, and a very little nar- 

 rower than elytra, rather coarsely and very densely punctated, forehead 

 slightly impressed with two distinct longitudinal grooves, separated by 

 a feeble convex interval; antennae fine; pronotum before the middle much 

 narrower than elytra, narrowing posteriorly, a little longer than broad, 

 somewhat uneven, with rather coarse and especially dense rugous puncta-

 line; elytra considerably longer than pronotum, somewhat uneven, with 

 rather coarse, particularly dense and alternately directed rugous punc- 

 tation; abdomen with rather fine and dense punctation, its first four, 

 free dorsal joints at base with a short carina in middle-line; hind 

 tarsi about as long as tibiae. L. 6 mm.
