the apex, the upperside of six jiroximal joints (fifth and sixth 

 indistinctly) sliining and punctate and the rest opa({ue and cove- 

 red with brownish hairs, the lower side of four proximal joints 

 shining and punctate : the third joint the longest. Prothorax : 

 much longer than broad, slightly narrowed posteriorly and broa- 

 dened anteriorly. The upper surface is uniformly convex from 

 side to side, and is scattered over with coarse punctures which 

 are more crowded at the sides, the front border being free of 

 them : under a high power the whole surface is seen to be spar- 

 sely covered with very fine punctures. Scutellum : triangular , 

 surface smooth, shining, impunctate. Elytra: hardly broader at 

 the base than tiie prothorax, parallel-sided, slightly narrowed at 

 the apex. Regularly punctate-striate. Besides the scutellar row of 

 punctures on each elytron there are ten rows which converge 

 towards the apical area where the 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 interstices are 

 appreciably raised of which 2,6, 8 are more strongly raised. 

 Underside: black, shining, finely and sparsely punctate.
