It is rather elongate, black, sliining and strongly sculp- 

 tured. The Lead is strongly and rugosely punctured, with 

 the front of the clypeus feebly bifid and the frontal 

 tubercle not very strong. The prothorax has very minute 

 scattered punctures on the disc, and these become rather 

 abruptly coarse at the sides. The scutellum is unpunc- 

 tured and longitudinally impressed down the middle. 

 The elytra are very strongly striate-punctate, all the 

 interstices being unpunctured and nearly equal, except the 

 juxta-sutural strip, which is narrow. The sides and apices 

 are strongly and irregularly punctured. The apical 

 margins are slightly truncated obliquely at the inner half 

 and continued on a membranous flange. The propygidium 

 is very finely and sparingly punctured and the pygidium 

 very coarsely and thickly. The front tibiae are furnished 

 with three strong pointed teeth and a vestige of a fourth 

 upper one.
