PH#APATE. 
Caput antice transversum, tuberibus antenniferis validis, divergentibus, 
basi approximatis. Ocul late emarginati, supra subapproximantes. 
Antenne corpore longiores, graciles, scapo subovato, articulis tertio et 
quarto longioribus, ceeteris gradatim decrescentibus. Prothorax equatus, 
irregularis, lateraliter angulatus. Zlytra oblonga, irregularia, apice sin- 
eulorum acuto, Pedes breves. Coxe antice haud approximate. Pro- 
sternum modice elevatum, postice dilatatum. Mesosternum latum, mu- 
ticum. Corpus depressum. 
Allied to Ropica, with some species of which it quite agrees in 
habit, but which differs in the rounded, not angulated, sides of the 
prothorax and its even disk. 
Pheapate albula. 
P. albescente pubescens; elytrorum lateribus macula magna triangulari 
subfusca.

greyish-white pubescence ; head deeply channelled between the tubers ; 
eyes slightly approximating above; prothorax about equal in length

into an angle placed rather behind the middle, the disk remotely punc- 
tured with a depressed callosity on each side, behind which there is a 
transverse constriction ; scutellum transverse, pointed behind; elytra 
somewhat irregular, especially at the base, coarsely punctured, the apex
