Face impressed with large foveolate punctures, continuous with 

 the encarpae and apex of epistome, its lower margin trilobate ; 

 epistome rather longer than broad, subcampanulate, surface 

 coarsely rugose-punctate, sides separated from the encarpae an- 

 teriorly by a fine sutural line, which gradually deepens posteriorly 

 and terminates on the side of the apex of the epistome in a deep 

 fovea; surface of encarpae irregularly tlu'ckened, depressed above, 

 point of junction with the front indicated by an ill-defined sutural 

 line ; antennae nearly two-thirds the length of the body, five outer 

 joints broadly dilated, black, the seventh to the ninth gradually 

 increasing in width. Thorax nearly one-fourth broader than long, 

 sides nearly straight and parallel from the base to before the 

 middle, thence rounded and converging to the apex ; above trans- 

 versely convex, sides strongly deflexed in front, surface deeply 

 and retTiotely punctured. Elytra broadly oblong, their apex 

 broadly rounded, very convex, transversely impressed below ilie
