 very sparse throughout, the lateral tumidity feeble; prothorax only 

 very slightly longer than wide, distinctly narrower than the head, sub- 

 par.iUel and very feebly arcuate at the sides, moderately coarsely, 

 strongly, somewhat closely but irregularly punctate; elytra much 

 elongated, two-flflhs wider and a third to nearly one-half longer than 

 the prothorax, the punctures moderately coarse, ratht r well separated, 

 confuted ; abdomen distinctly narrower than the elytra, finely, sparsely 

 punctulate. Male with the transverse fold of the second ventral long, 

 about a sixth or seventh as long as the segmental width, the third 

 ventral also with a setose transverse fold but shorter than that of the 

 second, the lobe obsolete in specimens at hand; sixth obtusely arcuato- 

 truncate at tip; female with a transverse setose fold on the second 

 segment occupying median seventh or eighth of the width. Length

 ately stout, parallel, pale and uniform red-brown in color throughout, 

 the legs still paler and rather more flavate; head well developed, about 

 as wide as the elytra, the sides parallel and more or less arcuaie behind 

 the eyes, then more broadly rounded to the neck, the punctures rather 

 coarse, separated by scarcely more than their own widths toward the 

 middle of the occiput, the lateral tumescent ridge — between the setig- 

 trous foveolae — strong; prothorax distinctly elongate, subparallel, 

 much narrower than the head, the punctures rather coarse but 

 impressed, not very close -set; elytra slightly elongate, much wider and 

 longer than the pioihorax, coarsely but not very closely punctate, 

 the punctures confused, becoming sparser and subserial toward the 

 humeral angles; abdomen much narrower than the elytra, finely and 

 eparse'y punctulate. Male with the transverse fold of the second ventral 

 very small, shorter than that of the third ventral, the latter also small 

 and occupying about median twelfth of the width, the lobe rounded, 

 extending about to the middle of the fourth in the only male at hand and 

 occupying medium fourth of the width, the sixth ventral broadly 

 arcuato-truncate at tip; female with the abdomen wholly unmodified.
