Head rugose, closely covered with suberect pale hairs, epi- 

 stome transverse, triangular, its surface also rugose. Thorax 

 rather broader than long, narrowing towards the apex ; the late- 

 ral margin obsolete, the anterior angle only being indicated by an 

 obtuse tooth ; anterior half of disk occupied by a strongly raised 

 gibbosity, behind which, on either side, is a broad but ill-defined 

 oblique excavation ; whole surface closely covered with pale sub- 

 erect hairs. Elytra less closely but more deeply punctured than 

 the thorax, more sparingly pubescent ; the wart-like tubercles ill- 

 defined, with the exception of one or two near the suture ; shoulders 

 prominent.
