Very cylindric, head with the eyes about the Avidth of the 

 elytra, thorax finely carinate, in the middle of the disc, and 

 somewhat transversely wrinkled in front, with an oblique sulcus on 

 each side of the base. Elytra ])arallel, their apex sinuate truncate, 

 sutural angle a little acuminate and produced, punctate- striate at 

 the base, stri;e produced, but obsolete near apex. The first 

 ol)lique fascia of shining hairs starts from the humerus towards 

 the suture, near which it sometimes meets the median curved 

 band ; the third fascia is only conspicuous in one of the two 

 exanq)les l)efore me, it runs from tlie margin near the apex

 iintennie have the fifth to tenth joints acuminate internally, the, 

 last long, ])ointed at apex, they are fuscous excepting the basal 

 jouit which is pale yellow beneath. The organisation of the
