upper half thickened and sliglitly produced ; antennae more than 

 half the length of the body, five upper joints moderately dilated, 

 seventh and eighth gradually increasing in width. Tliorax not 

 longer than broad, sides straight and pirallel at the base, thence 

 rounded and converging to the apex, hinder angles armed with a 

 short tooth ; upper surface subconic, sides strongly defiexed in 

 front. Elytra oblong, transversely excavated l)elovv the basilar 

 space ; humeral callus thickened, bounded within by a longitu- 

 dinal depression, the lower end of which joins the outer extre- 

 mity of the transverse excavation ; surface somewhat finely but 

 distinctly striate-punctate, the punctures much finer near the 

 apex, and in some instances nearly obsolete ; the interspace 

 within the outer margin obsolttely thickened.

Head coarsely but remotely punctured ; front impressed with 

 a deep longitudinal groove, which runs downwards as far as the 

 anterior margin, the latter separated from the encarpte and ej)i- 

 stome by a deep sutural groove, trilobate, the medial lobe pro- 

 duced ; epistome longer than broad, campanulate, rugose ; en- 

 carpae cultriform, smooth and impunctate, their upper half scarcely 

 thickened ; antennas more than half the length of the l)ody, five 

 upper joints broadly dilated, black. Thorax slightly broader than 

 long, sides nearly straight and parallel behind the middle, thence 

 rounded and converging to the apex ; above' transversely convex, 

 sides strongly deflexed in front, surface coarsely and deeply but 

 subremotely punctured. Elytra oblong, parallel, obsoletelv de- 

 pressed below the ba'^ilar space (the d; pression visible only when 

 viewed oblicjucly) ; humeral callus prominent, bounded within by 

 a longitudinal depression ; surface somewhat coarsely punctate-
