are only indicated by doulDle lines oi ptmctures, the space 

 between the first pair is rather broad and pnnctiu-es nearly as

 become obsolete posteriorly, the third costa is only indicated by 

 a line of pnnctxu'es below the shoulder ; at the sides are three 

 lines of punctures (including the marginal line). The sides of 

 the abdomen are very strongly and thickly punctured ; the 

 punctures on the pygidium are not numerous, but are very 

 strong.
