with brown- near its summit. The pale scales are continued along 

 the flanks of the elytra, and in consequence the dark spots are very 

 conspicuous. On a small specimen the fascicles at summit of pos- 

 terior declivity are less pronounced, but there is a distinct fascicle 

 on the preapical callus. The femoral teeth are much larger, and 

 the abdominal punctures much smaller than usual.

 each elytron with about six fascicles, of which the three most 

 distinct are on the second interstice.

 dilated more than usual; subtubercular beneath median fascicles : 

 densely punctate, punctures strong hut almost concealed. Elytra 

 considerably wider than prothorax, shoulders and apex rounded: 

 subtuberculate beneath fascicles; striate-punctate, punctures. round 

 and rather large but more or less concealed. Under surface densely
