Head coarsely but not closely pu'^ctured ; epistome much 

 longer than broad, wedge-shaped, obliquely depressed at base 

 and apex, extreme apical margin obsolete, sides straight and 

 converging backwards, anterior border armed with two very short 

 acute teeth ; supra-ocular groove broad, shallow ; antennas more 

 than half the length of the body, six outer joints very slightly 

 thickened; jaws rufo-piceous. Thorax nearly twice as broad 

 as long ; the sides straight and obliquely converging from the 

 base to the middle, thence obliquely rounded and converging to 

 the apex ; surface transversely convex, distinctly and somewhat 

 closely punctured. Elytra ovate, scarcely broader than the thorax, 

 strongly punctured, punctures irregularly arranged in longitudinal 

 rows ; interspaces on the outer disk thickened and forming coarse 

 irregular transverse reticulations ; towards the apex they form 

 longitudinal costae.
