tured. Elytra oblong, transversely and broadly excavated below 

 the basilar space ; humeral callus prominent, bounded within by 

 a longitudinal depression, the lower end of which joins the outer 

 extremity of the transverse excavation ; surface deeply but rather 

 finely punctured, the punctures arranged in double longitudinal 

 rows ; the row nearest the suture, one on the outer border, and 

 all the rest near the apex of the elytron, composed each of a 

 single line of punctures ; two interspaces on the outer margin 

 distinctly costate ; subhumeral tuberosity prominent. Outer edge 

 of intermediate tibiae obsoletely sinuate near the aptx,

Face separated from the encarpae and epistome by a deep su- 

 tural groove ; anterior border broadly and obtusely rounded, more 

 or less deeply sinuate on either side, the apex produced into a 

 distinct lobe ; surface coarsely and deeply punctured, frontal 

 groove shallow ; epistome rather broader than long, broadly cam- 

 panulate, its apex broadly concave-emarginate ; surface rugose- 

 punctate ; antennae more than half the length of ihe body, five 

 upper joints narrowly dilated, gradually increasing in width from 

 the seventh to the tenth. Thorax rather broader at the base than 

 long ; sides obsoletely rounded at the extreme base, thence ob- 

 liquely converging to the apex ; above transversely convex, 

 strongly deflexed obliquely on either side in front ; surface some- 

 what closely punctured. Elytra oblong, convex, transversely 

 excavated below the basilar space ; humeral callus moderately 

 prominent, bounded within by a deep longitudinal depression ; on
