 liter elevatis et depressis, fortiter sed inordinatim punctatis,

Long. 2 lin. 



Hab. Morty Island. 



Head deeply buried in the thorax, closely punctured, face 

 broad, concave, impressed with a faint longitudinal groove ; epi- 

 stome semilunate; labrum smooth, flavous ; antennae flavous, 

 scarcely longer than the head and thorax, subfiliform, their outer 

 half black ; eyes nearly black, slightly prominent, subreniform. 

 Thorax nearly twice as broad at the base as long, sides narrowly 

 margined, narrowed and rounded from base to apex, their outer 

 edge coarsely but indistinctly crenulate ; hinder angles acute, not 

 produced ; basal margin moderately oblique and obsoletely sinuate 

 on either side, its medial lobe short, broadly truncate, the apex 

 slightly concave ; upper surface distinctly gibbous, closely punc- 

 tured, the puncturing finer on the disc, rather coarser on the 

 sides; medial line impressed with a narrow groove, which, com- 

 mencing at the base, runs forward to the anterior margin. Scu- 

 tellum trigonate, the anterior margin notched, its surface oblique, 

 smooth, flavous, sparingly covered with adpressed hairs, front 

 edge black; extreme apex obtuse, scarcely free. Elytra scarcely 

 broader than the thorax, sides nearly parallel, moderately lobed 

 in front ; upper surface convex, with alternate depressions and 

 elevations; slightly thickened immediately round the suture; 

 huineral callus moderately thickened ; surface somewhat flattened 

 below the basilar space, then transversely excavated just before the 

 middle of the elytron, the outer disc close to its apex raised into 

 a broad obtuse callosity ; general surface moderately but coarsely 

 punctured, interspaces thickened and forming broad irregularly 

 raised longitudinal vittae, which are more or less interrupted and 

 anastomose here and there with each other; their surface is for the 

 most part smooth and free from punctures ; the ground colour of 

 the elytra is pale rufo-piceous, with their extreme basal margin 

 black ; some irregular patches on the surface and some of the 

 raised vittge themselves are pale whitish yellow. Apical segment 

 of abdomen with a large deeply excavated fovea.
