 base, but with the sides not curved ; the lateral margin 

 excessively fine, and only distinct on the posterior pai"t ; 

 close to each hind angle is a rather large, but not sharply 

 defined depression ; the hind angles are obtuse, the sculp- 

 ture of the surface is similar to that of the head, and there 

 is a fine, abbreviated channel along the middle. Elytra 

 rather longer than the thorax, and about as broad as it is 

 at the base, with a well-marked sutural stria ; the sculji- 

 ture similar to that of the head and thorax, but the scat-
