Head smooth, impunctate, front impressed with a narrow 

 elongate fovea ; lower portion of face clothed with am'eo-sericcous 

 hairs, apex of clypeus and labrum nigro-piceous ; antenna' 

 slender, filiform, two-thirds the length of the body. Thorax 

 scarcely broader than long ; sides armed just behind the apex 

 with an acute tubercle, deeply constricted, the apex of the 

 constriction angulate ; disc shining, impunctate, very deeply 

 imjiressed in front of the base with a transverse sulcation. 

 Elytra broader than the thorax, parallel, convex, longitudinally 

 excavated Avithin the humeral callus, transversely and somewhat 

 obliquely excavated below the basilar space, the basilar s])ace 

 itself distinctly thickened ; convex, regularly punctate-striate, 

 the ninth stria entire, the punctures distinct but not large, of 

 equal size and depth to the apex of the elytra, those on the 

 sub-basilar excavation coarser and more strongly impressed than 

 the rest ; interspaces plane, slightly convex at the apex.
