Head perpendicular, inserted in the thorax as far as the hinder 

 Ijorder of the eyes, the latter large, elongate, slightly convex, their 

 inner border notched ; face rugose-punctate, upper portion 

 clothed with fulvous hairs ; epistome triangular, glabrous, its 

 anterior surface transversely depressed, the anterior margin con- 

 cave ; antennae black, four basal joints flavous ; second and third 

 joints short, equal, fourth nearly as long as the two j)receding' 

 united, compressed, increasing in width from base to apex, the 

 remaining joints dilated, triangular ; mandibles thick, not much 

 produced beyond the labrum. Thorax twice as broad as long, 

 lateral and basal margins with a narrow reflexed border ; sides 

 obliquely converging and slightly rounded from behind their 

 middle to their apex, obliquely rounded at the base, posterior 

 angle distinct, obtuse ; basal margin truncate on either side, me- 

 dial lobe slightly produced, obtusely rounded ; upper surface 

 transversely convex, remotely punctured. Scutellum forming an 

 elongated triangle, its extreme apex obtuse ; basal half excavated,

 Elytra subcylindrical, scarcely broader than the thorax ; sides 

 distinctly lobed at their base, thence nearly straight and sub- 

 parallel, being scarcely narrowed towards the apex, the latter 

 dehiscent ; upper surface distinctly but not very closely punctured. 

 Legs robust, anterior pair elongate, the others gradually decresis-
