Dark brown ; with the greater part of the head, the front 

 border, some anterior spots on the disc of the prothorax, the scu- 

 tellum and elytra densely covered with dull, fulvous pubescence ; 

 the antennae, legs and underside with a faint covering of grey 

 pubescence. Head marked in front with a naked subcircular 

 impression that limits a slightly raised central area ; the shallow 

 groove lying between the antennal supports also bare of pubes- 

 cence. The antennce are slightly longer than the body in the § , and 

 extend past the apex of the elytra by their last two or three joints 

 in the J ; third and fourth joints only slightly thickened at the 

 apex, the third nearly twice as long as the fourth ; tifth to tenth 

 sharply angulate or subspinose at the apex, each subequal in length 

 to the third ; eleventh little longer than the tenth. Prothorax 

 longer than broad, slightly rounded at the sides, narrowed more 

 in front than towards the base ; intricately and rather strongly 

 I'ugose above and at the sides. Elytra gradually narrowed back- 

 wards, truncate at the apex and armed each with a sutural spine. 

 Femora rather slender, but slightly thickened towards the middle; 

 tibia) not carinate ; first joint of hind tarsus as long as the next 

 two joints united.

 tudinal, subnude, finely puuctulate streaks ; antenn,Te and legs 

 reddish brown with a faint grey pubescence. Head marked with 

 a feeble median sulcus on the vertex jtist behind the eyes. 

 Antennae of the S about one-fourth longer than the body ; third, 

 fourth and fifth joints thickened strongly at the apex ; fourth 

 and fifth subequal in length, together not much longer than the 

 third, and only very slightly longer than the sixth or seventh ; 

 eight!) to eleventh gradually shorter. Prothorax much longer 

 than broad, slightly rounded at the sides, rugose above, with 

 the pubescence disposed in patches, one of which lies along a 

 median space on the posterior half ; constricted and trans- 

 versely grooved near the apex and mark'ed with two transverse 

 grooves near the base. Elytra nearly three times as long as 

 broad, narrowly truncate at the apex ; each with a shallow
