Front remotely punctured, separated from the episfome and 

 encarpoe by a deeply sulcate groove; anterior border trilobate, 

 inedial lobe semiovate, distinctly produced ; its surface, together 

 with an angular space at its base, is depressed below the general 

 surface of the front, and from the apex of this depression the 

 usual longitudinal groove runs upwards to the vertex; epistome 

 longer than broad, subcuneiform, sides converging backwards, 

 hinder margin angulate-emarginate ; surface longitudinally con- 

 cave, coarsely punctured, obliquely elevate-strigose on either side, 

 the upper portion shelving gradually downwards towards the 

 frontal groove; encarpae broadly cultriform, their hinder half not 

 elevated or produced, surface smooth, impressed in front with one 

 or more large punctures ; antennae in the $ nearly three-fourths 

 the length of the body, rather shorter in the $, five upper joints 

 obscure purple, moderately but abruptly dilated. Thorax nearly 

 one-fourth broader than long ; sides rounded, scarcely converging 

 in front; hinder angles armed with an acute tooth ; upper surface 

 convex, sides deflexed in front ; very coarsely punctured, irregu- 

 larly excavated on either side near the lateral margin. Elytra 

 oblong, parallel, convex, basilar space almost entirely surrounded 

 by a deep depression ; humeral callus prominent ; surface some- 

 what closely covered with coarse punctures, which continue dis- 

 tinct to the apex of the elytra, arranged in numerous longitudinal 

 rows. Intermediate tibiae in the $ straight, not notched on their 

 outer edge.
