 which, as in the shape of the prothorax, it approaches 

 the species of Eichhoft"s second division.

Fem. Subelongata, cylindrica, nitida, castaiiea, parce longius 

 pilosa ; prothorace haud transverse, apice rotuudato, disco sub- 

 aequaliter convexo, post medium fortiter punctate, linea media 

 Ifevi ; elytris fortiter lineato-punctatis, interstitiis planis punctis 

 piliferis remotis notatis, apice fortiter declivi, impresso et longi- 

 tiidinaliter concave, penntido,lineato-punctato,iuterstitiis prteecipue 

 in parte superiore subtiUter seriato-tuberculatis. Long. 3'4 mm. 



Female. Subelongate, cyliudrical, shining, deep castaneous,

 surface cylindric, the apical third strongly declivous, with non- 

 impressed rows of strong punctures, the sutural row irregular, 

 interstices flat, subrugulose, shining, with uniseriate remote 

 piliferous punctures, replaced before the declivity by elevated 

 points, declivity strong but not abrupt, broader than long, retuse 

 and concave from base to apex, which is subexplanate, margined 

 subacutely below, very shining, with three rows of shallow pxrnc-
