45b Mr. Baly's dcscriptuins of 



autenuaj with the three lower joints piceo-rufous, the rest black. 

 Thorax twice as broad as long, the anterior margin concave; 

 the sides distinctly margined, rounded, nearly straight and 

 parallel at the base, all the angles produced, the hinder ones 

 acute, the anterior ones excurved, obtuse; disc transversely 

 'convex, impunctate, impressed on either side on the basal margin 

 Avith a short perpendicular groove. Elytra much broader than 

 the thorax, convex, rather strongly punctured.

 would enter into his 22nd section, it has, however, but little 

 affinity in habit with the genera l:)elonging to that group, from 

 either of which it is separated by its narrow elongate form.
