 differs in the broader, more quadj'ate head, broader thorax less 

 narrowed behind and with straighter sides, and the rugose 

 puncturation of the head and thorax. Head a little broader 

 than the thorax, a little broader than long, subquadrate. the 

 posterior angles rounded, the vertex in front lightly bi-im- 

 pressed, puncturation close, fine, rugose, subumbilicate. 

 Antennae long, the 3rd joint a little longer than 2nd, the rest 

 all distinctly longer than broad, the 11th longer than the 10th. 

 Thorax a little longer than broad, the anterior angles rounded, 

 obliquely truncate to the neck, gradually narrowed behind to
