 the punctures on the disk of tho thorax having a tendency to run 

 together longitudinally. The punctuation of the abdomen is much less 

 strong and less close. " Head a little broader than long, about two thirds 

 the width of the thorax; the cheek behind each eye is much less than the 

 length of the eye, the posterior angle rounded. Thorax rounded at the
