Hab. — Peru. 



Head rather longer than broad, trigonate ; vertex finely 

 rugose, front impressed on either side near the eye with a 

 deep round foveolate puncture ; interocular space sepa- 

 rated from the front by a narrow, rather strongly raised, 

 oblique line ; carina linear, very strongly elevated, and 

 forming a keel-like longitudinal ridge, which extends up- 

 wards to the front ; eucarpie obsolete ; antenna more than 

 half the length of the body, filiform, the second joint oval, 

 equal in thickness to the basal one, equal in length to the 

 third ; the four lower joints piceous, the rest black. 

 Thorax twice as broad as long ; sides obliquely converg- 

 ing from the base towards the apex, the anterior angles 

 thickened, broadly and very obliquely truncate, the hinder 

 ones acute ; basal margin sinuate on either side the medial 

 lobe, the latter regularly rounded ; disk convex, irregu- 

 larly wrinkled, distinctly punctured ; basal groove straight, 

 entire. Scutellum small, semiovate-rotundate. Elytra ob- 

 long, convex, the humeral callus thickened, the basilar
