 arcuated than in units, leaving a broader rostral groove which reaches 

 quite to the base of the head. Antennae longer, the second joint pro- 

 portionally longer than the third. Rostrum reaching to the posterior 

 coxae; in unus scarcely attaining the intermediate. Pronotum broader 

 anteriorly and more convex than in the allied species ; in the male the 

 anterior lobe is scarcely if at all narrower than the posterior, the 

 sharply carinate sides but feebly sinuated ; posterior lobe a little paler 

 and more coarsely punctured than the anterior, with a distinct medial 

 depression as in unus. Scutellum as in unus but subcarinate behind 

 the impressed disk. Elytra closely but more obscurely punctured than 

 in unus. Pectus deeply punctured, propleura armed with a rounded 

 tooth between the anterior coxae which in the other species is small 

 and acute ; metapleural flaps impunctate and polished. Venter sha-

 less conspicuous than in unus. Anterior femora much incrassated, 

 armed with one stout tooth near the apex. Length 6-7 mm.
