 scarcely produced, obtuse, anterior portion of surface obliquely 

 deflexed; antennae similar in form to those of iV. trivittatum, 

 three lower joints obscure fulvous, tenth black ; jaws nigro- 

 piceous. Thorax twice as broad as long ; sides rounded, con- 

 verging in front ; anterior angles subtuberculate, hinder angles 

 armed with an obtuse tooth ; upper surface finely and distinctly 

 but remotely punctured. Scutellum narrow, elongate-trigonate,

Long. If lin.

 extreme upper portion of vertex closely covered with large ob- 

 long punctures ; antennas half the length of the body, seven upper 

 joints thickened and slightly compressed, increasing in width near 

 the apex. Thorax twice as broad as long ; sides rounded and 

 converging from base to apex, all the angles tuberculate ; upper 

 surface very minutely and sparingly punctured. Scutellum nar- 

 rowly seniiovate, its apex subacute. Elytra broadly oblong, con-
