 Long. 2j lin. 

 Hab. Ke. 



Head granulose, lower portion of front impressed with a shal- 

 low longitudinal groove ; epistome rather longer than broad, pent- 

 agonal, not distinctly separated from the front, the apical sutures 

 being replaced by an interrupted row of punctures ; sides straight 

 and parallel, anterior border deeply concave-emarginate, angles of 

 the notch produced, obtuse ; surface remotely punctured ; jaws 

 nigro-piceous ; eyes deeply notched. Thorax more than twice as 

 broad as long ; sides rounded, obliquely converging from behind 

 the middle to the apex, all the angles armed with an obtuse tooth ; 

 finely granulose, remotely impressed with minute punctures, which 

 are only visible under a lens. Scutelium as broad at the base as 

 long, its apex obtuse. Elytra scarcely broader than the thorax, 

 oblong, very slightly excavated below the basilar space ; surface 

 nitidous, minutely granulose ; striae entire, subsulcate, more finely 

 punctured below the middle ; interspaces slightly convex.

 tudinal groove ; epistome distinctly separated from the front,

 verging backwards ; anterior border broadly but slightly con- 

 cave-emarginate, the angles of the notch scarcely produced, 

 very obtuse; jaws black; inner border of the eyes very slightly 

 emarginate. Thorax scarcely more than twice as broad as long ;
