 Prothorax a little wider than long, sides nearly parallel, suddenly rounded 

 and narrowed at the tip, which is feebly impressed at the sides, base broadly 

 bisinuate, middle lobe feebly angulated, basal angles obtuse and rounded, 

 disc densely punctulate, sparsely and very coarsely punctured, basal con-

Colorado. Four specimens given me by Mr. Ulke. The beak is thicker 

 than in the neighboring species, and it is otherwise easily recognized.
