the 1st, moderately thickened. Thorax nearly twice as 

 broad as loii<r ; sides nearly ])arallel, slightly rounded, con- 

 verging near the ajiex, anterior angle acute ; above 

 transversely convex, deeply foveolate-punctate ; interspaces 

 smooth, those near the a])ex finely granulose. Elytra 

 deeply foveolate-striate ; interspaces smooth, impunctate, 

 those on the outer border convex ; short interspace next 

 the suture impressed "with a number of punctures, equal 

 in depth and size to those of the striiv; themselves.

Head subtrigonate ; vertex thickened, front separated 

 fi'om the lower face by a deej) groove ; finely granulose- 

 strigose ; carina oblong, slightly thickened ; eyes large, 

 bordered above by a deep groove ; antenna? pale fulvous, 

 four u]>per joints fuscous; 2nd joint moderately thickened, 

 two-thirds the length of the 1st. Thorax nearly twice as 

 broad as long: sides obliquely converging from base to 

 apex, anterior angle produced, obtuse ; above trans- 

 versely convex, nitidous, finely rugose-strigose, impressed 

 with shallow aciculate punctures. Elytra broader than the 

 thorax, narrowed towards the apex, strongly punctate- 

 striate ; interspaces finely but distantly punctured, slightly 

 convex on the inner disk, subcostate near the outer margin. 



Veiy nearly allied to /■*. granulosa, mihi, but separated 

 from that insect by the four anterior legs being entirely 

 lulvous, as Avell as by the distinctly larger front.
