punctured, the pronotum is rather more evenly and densely

Two specimens were found by the late Mr, Ericson in 

 the first locality during January 1898, and a series was 

 collected in the second by Sig. E. Modigliani from Decem- 

 ber 1890 to March 1891. It is a small species, with shorter 

 and scantier pubescence than usual, and without lateral 

 fringes to the prothorax and elytra. The clypeus is small 

 and the eyes prominent, very finely facetted and shining, 

 with the anteocular ridges well developed and not very 

 oblique. The prothorax is relatively rather siiort, the sides 

 nearly straight behind, and the base rather broad, with 

 prominent hind angles. The elytra are rather more coarsely 

 punctured than in the other species. The legs are moder- 

 ately slender and fringed, but not thickly, with short hairs.

 dense et grosse punctato, lateribus postice laevissime arcuatis, angulis

 punctatis, punctis liaud profundis, singulo elytro leviter 3-co3tato,
