rugose above. Elytra long, somewhat parallel-sided, broadly trun-

 )iiiddle, the middle pair more so than the others in the c? of the 

 typical species, and iu these also furnished beneath with a large, 

 elongate, piligerous pit ; hind femora scarcely extended past 

 the liind border of the second abdominal segment in the cj' . 

 Acetabula of front coxae rounded on the outer side, closed 

 posteriorly ; the intercoxal process gradually sloped and dilated 

 posteriorly. Abdomen parallel-sided, broadly rounded posteriorly,

Piceous black, densely clothed above with a slightly silky pubes-

part glabrous ; the elytra also each 

 with two nude, impunctate, polished 

 spots, one a short distance along 

 each side from the base, the other 

 placed on the disc a little in front 

 of the apex. Antennae dark brown, 

 the first two joints covered like 

 the front of the head with rust- 

 coloured pubescence. Prothorax 

 narrowed anteriorly from about 

 the middle, and continuing as 

 M'ide up to the base as at the 

 middle, irregularly rugose above, 

 with a short cariniform elevation 

 along the middle. Elytra very slightly widened posteriorly, their 

 greatest width a little before the apex, broadly truncate at the 

 apex with the angles acute or subdentate. Body beneath, femora 

 aud tibite piceous ; the tarsi with a rusty-red pubescence. Middle

 very closely rugulose-punctate ; third and fifth to ninth sub-

 eleventh one-third longer than the tenth. Prothorax conico- 

 cylindric, about one-third longer than its width at the base,
