Vertex smooth, impunctate ; encarpre narrow, linear, 

 oblique, their inner angles not contiguous ; antennse more 

 than half the length of the body, two or three upper joints 

 stained Avitli fuscous. Thorax nearly twice as broad as

 very finely denticulate, anterior angles thickened, obliquely 

 truncate, produced laterally into an obtuse tooth ; basal 

 lobe produced, broadly rounded ; upper surface finely and 

 subremotely, but distinctly punctured, interspaces smooth 

 and shining, impunctate ; basal groove deeply impressed,

 coarsely punctate-striate, sparingly clothed with long 

 suberect griseous hairs ; interspaces on the outer disk
