moderately dilated, gradually increasing in width from the seventh 

 to the ninth. Thorax more than one-fourth broader than long; 

 sides straight and slightly diverging from the base to beyond the 

 middle, thence rounded and conver<iing to the apex ; the anterior 

 angle thickened, posterior armed with a short tooth ; above convex, 

 sides deflexed in front, surface deeply and subremotely punctured. 

 Elytra oblong, slightly dilated posteriorly, convex ; basilar space 

 slightly raised, entirely surrounded (its base excepted) by a broad, 

 deep but ill-defined depression ; humeral callus prominent ; on 

 the outer disk, parallel to the lateral border, are two longitudinal 

 costffi ; the inner one, entire and strongly elevated, extends from 

 the humeral callus to the apex ; the outer, less distinct, is only 

 visible on the hinder half of the elytron; subhumeral tubercle in- 

 distinct ; whole surface somewhat closely covered wiih rather 

 coarse punctures, which have a tendency near the suture and on 

 the outer disk to arrange themselves in longitudinal striae. 



I possess only a single specimen, a J ; the $ , which 1 do not 

 know, is probably without costae on the elytra.

Front separated from the epistome and encarpae by a deeply 

 sulcate groove ; anterior border trilobate, medial lobe round, 

 slightly but distinctly produced ; surface very distantly punctured, 

 impressed in the middle with a longitudinal groove, a slightly 

 depressed triangular space in front (including the medial lobe) 

 coarsely rugose-punctate ; epistome campanuliform, its surface 

 coarsely punctured, depressed at base and apex ; encarpae plane,
