 past the tip of the first stria and is cur\'ed imvard at the base ; in addi-

 stria abbreviated under the humerus at base, and abbreviated at apex.

Oval. Front without strides; preocular tooth moderately prom- 

 inent, mandibles as long as head. Pronotum markedly bisinuate at 

 base; marginal stria entire extending around the posterior angles to a 

 point opposite the second elytral stria, deeply impressed, except for the 

 portion on the posterior margin of the pronotum which is fine. Elytra 

 bistriate. the first stria short about one-third the length of the elytra, 

 the second entire, slightly arcuate. Subhum.eral moderately deep, 

 rugose, extending from apex foiir-fifths to base. Inflexed portion of 

 elytra not rugose. Menttun slightly concave with an M-shaped exca-
