convex ; lower margin of the epistonae subangulate-emarginate, 

 angles of the notch subacute; labrum and antennae fulvous. 

 Thorax more than twice as broad as long ; sides rounded and con- 

 verging from base to apex, more quickly converging before the 

 middle ; above transversely convex at the base, sides obliquely 

 converging from just behind the middle to the apex ; surface rather 

 strongly but not closely punctured. Elytra rather strongly punc- 

 tate-striate \ striae near the outer border more coarsely punctured, 

 sulcate, their interspaces thickened.
