ceous. Prothorax manifestly obloug, strongly rounded behind, 

 parallel-sided from before the middle to the base, the latter trun- 

 cate, the hind- angles rounded, anterior opening bisinuate ; surface 

 with a very indistinct ante-median transverse elevation, in front 

 convex, declivous, fusco-ferruginous, finely granulate-asperate. 

 behind cylindric, subopaque, alutaceous, feebly and scantily punc- 

 tured. Scutellum large, rounded oblong, black, subrugulose. 

 Elytra as wide as but scarcely longer than the prothorax, parallel- 

 sided, the apical margins oblique, and scarcely conjointly rounded ; 

 surface cylindric, strongly declivous for the hinder fourth, fusco- 

 piceous, the base and apex obscure reddish, pilose and very faintly 

 striate, the punctures of the strise visible at the base in the sub- 

 stance, the interstices at the base subnitid, rugulose and multi-

 declivity subconvcx, not impressed, dull, not sharply margined 

 beneath. Underside concolorous, pubescent, legs brown-testaceous.
