Elongatus, valde convexus, nitido-purpureus ; thorace conico, 

 remote fortiter punctate; tlytris infra basin transversim 

 sulcatis, subcrebre punctatis, punctis indistincte seriatim dis- 

 positis ; pedibus nitore seneo indutis ; aniennis clava. sat 

 dilatata ; frontis margine inferiori trilobate, lobis lateralibus 

 angulatis, lobo intermedio vix producto. 

 Long. 5 lin. 

 Hab. Manilla. 



Front separated from the epistome and encarpse by a deep 

 groove, its anterior border trilobate, the medial lobe scarcely pro- 

 duced ; surface subremotely and deeply punctured, impressed in 

 the centre with a longitudinal groove, which extends downwards 

 to the base of the medial lobe, the latter depressed, rugose ; 

 epistome rather longer than broad, triangylar, its upper angle 

 truncate, anterior border obsoletely angulate-emarginate ; surface 

 coarsely rugose-punctate ; encarpge narrowly cultriform ; antennae 

 rather more than half the length of the body, five upper joints 

 moderately dilated, the seventh scarcely narrower than the eighth. 

 Thorax conic, nearly as broad at the base as long ; sides nearly 

 straight, converging from base to apex; upper surface deeply but 

 remotely punctured. Elytra oblong, parallel, obsoletely dilated 

 posteriorly, convex, slightly excavated transversely below the 

 basilar space ; humeral callus moderately prominent, bounded 

 within by an indistinct longitudinal depression ; surface somewhat 

 closely and coarsely punctured, punctures arranged in numerous 

 irregular longitudinal rows, which have a tendency on the hinder 

 half of the inner disk to approximate in pairs. 



The conical thorax will at once separate this species from any 

 of the other allied forcns.
