Head coarsely and closely punctured, anterior border feebly 

 but distinctly angulate-emarginate, hinder margin not thickened, 

 surface less oblique than in the preceding species, coarsely punc- 

 tured. Thorax shorter than broad, very convex above, coarsely 

 and closely punctured ; sides obliquely diverging from the base 

 to beyond the middle, thence quickly rounded and converging to 

 the apex ; middle of disk glabrous, entire limb clothed witli bifid 

 scales. Elytra oblong-ovate, less narrowed posteriorly than in 

 either of the two preceding species, the puncturing similar ; sur- 

 face clothed with fine suberect whitish hairs, which spring singly 

 from each separate puncture, and form longitudinal rows, cor- 

 responding in number with the rows of punctures; in addition are 

 the usual bifid scales, which form somewhat distant patches on the 

 disk, and are more crowded at the sides and apex.
