Form oval, above moderately densely covered with pale-brownish scales, 

 variegated with paler and darker spots, and with extremely short and in-

 ately denselj'^ punctured, scales cupreous, rostrum with a feeble carina 

 terminating in a slight frontal puncture. Thorax slightly broader than 

 long, apex and base truncate and nearly equal, sides moderately arcuate, 

 lobes very feeble, disc moderately convex, indistinctly granulate, granules 

 punctured at summit, surface moderately densely scaly and with very short 

 setae, scales pale-brownish with slight cupreous lustre, paler at the sides. 

 Elytra oval, conjointly emarginate at base, humeri rectangular, disc mode- 

 rately convex, apex rather suddenly declivous, indistinctly striate, striae 

 with modex'ately large, not closely placed punctures, intervals alternately 

 more convex especially toward the declivity, surface densely scaly, scales 

 pale-brownish, variegated with darker and paler spots, especially on the 

 more convex intervals, each interval with numerous short, black setae, 

 very inconspicuous. Body beneath very sparsely scaly at the sides, and 

 with scale-like hairs at middle, surface rather sparsely punctured. Legs 

 sparsely scaly and with shoil hairs. Length .38-. 40 inch ; 9.5-10 mm.

Form oblong oval, surface densely covered with cinereous scales, varie 

 gated with brownish and cupreous spaces. Head and rostrum nearly as 

 long as the thorax, surface rather coarsely punctured, moderately densely

 slightly broader than long, apex and base truncate, the apex slightly 

 narrower, sides rather strongly arcuate especially at posterior third, lobes 

 very feeble ; disc very feebly convex, sub-rugosely punctate and feebly 

 granulate, sparsely scaly, scales silvery and cupreous and with extremely 

 short inconspicuous setae. Elytra oblong oval, conjointly emarginate at 

 base, humeri rectangular, sides moderately arcuate, disc moderately con- 

 vex, apex rather suddenly declivous, surface striate, striae with moderate, 

 rather closely placed punctures, intervals slightly convex, and alternately 

 slightly more convex near the declivity, densely scaly, scales cinereous or 

 pale-brownish, variegated with cupreous and darker scales. Body beneath
