Long. H—?>1 lin. 



Hab. Pulo-Penang. 



Face coarsely punctured, impressed down the middle with a 

 deep longitudinal groove, anterior border separated from the epi- 

 stome and encarpse by a deep sutural groove, trilobate, lateral 

 lobes subacute, medial lobe slightly produced, its surface, toge- 

 ther with a triangular space above, deeply depressed ; epistome 

 subquadrate, rather broader than long, sides slightly converging 

 backwards, surface finely punctured ; antennae rather more than 

 half the length of the body, five outer joints broadly dilated, ob- 

 scure purple. Thorax transverse, one-third broader than long; 

 sides nearly straight and parallel, rounded and converging in 

 front, transversely convex, sides strongly deflexed in front; sur- 

 face finely and somewhat remotely punctured. Elytra broadly 

 oblong, finely punctured, the punctures arranged in regular rows ;
