 jiubescence, 8—10 moniliform, 11 larger, acuminate: 1-7 coarsely 

 punctured: head subquadrate, not jirolonged behind the eyes; 

 antennary orbits subangularly prominent, epistoma short, 

 gradually narrowed to the front; labrum strongly transverse, 

 pilose, nearly entirely visible, angles rounded: eyes very narrow,

 ately convex; sides Avell roimded, abruptly narrowed behind,

 but not prominent, and reposing on the shoulders of the elytra: 

 elytra oblong ovate, not wider at base than base of prothorax,

 shoulders depressed, sides a little sinuous near the base: epi- 

 pleurte broad, the fold extending from the humei\a,l angle to the 

 apex, gradually narrowed behind: legs moderate; four hind 

 femora a little compressed; all the tibiaj rounded, the anterior
