a longitudinal indentation in the middle, and a slender inipunc- 

 tured line extends to the anterior edge : elytra striate, the stria; 

 not very obviously punctured, third and fourth confluent before 

 the tip ; greatest breadth posterior to the middle : tibiae and 

 tarsi rufous. 



Length two-fifths of an inch.

 anterior part of the head : antennae, joints as broad at tip as long, 

 second and third equal, terminal one large ovate acute, not ab-
