short, the thu'd nearly twice the length of the second, the fourth 

 longer than the two preceding united; the eight lower joints

 long; sides rounded, nearly pai-allel at the base, anterior angles 

 produced, excurved, obtuse, the hinder ones acute; disc shining 

 impunctate. Elytra finely punctured, rufo-testaceous, a broad
