 produced into distinct teeth.

Head short, smooth ; epistome triangular, rounded on the sides; 

 eyes large, not prominent, their inner edge deeply notched ; an- 

 tennae with the first joint slightly thickened, second rather more 

 than a third the length of the first, ovate, the three following joints 

 each about equal in length to the second, slender, the first of these 

 filiform, the two others slightly but indistinctly obconic, sixth and 

 four following compressed and triangularly dilated, forming a 

 slender loosely articulated club (the eleventh joint wanting). Tho- 

 rax twice as broad at the base as long; sides regularly rounded 

 and converging from base to apex, basal margin truncate on either 

 side, medial lobe strongly produced, triangular, its apex entire, 

 received into the base of the scutellum ; upper surface very con- 

 vex, subcylindrical in front, smooth and nitidous, impressed with 

 round but very shallow punctures, which are much less distinct 

 on the anterior disc ; colour obscure piceous on the middle of the 

 disc, rufo-piceous on the sides. Scutellum narrow, elongate, its 

 apex very acute. Elytra moderately lobed at the base, very 

 convex, slightly narrowed posteriorly ; each elytron impressed 

 with eleven longitudinal rows of very fine punctures; interspaces 

 smooth, plane, irapunctate, those on the outer disc slightly but 

 distinctly convex, the general colour obscure piceous like the 

 thorax ; their apex, together with an ill-defined patch on the 

 middle of the disc, rulo-piceous ; beneath pale rufo- or fulvo- 

 piceous. Prosternum broader than long, its hinder border trun- 

 cate, hinder angles obtuse.
