dorsal disc Lelniid the sliordders fusco-Limaculate ; vertex narrower 

 than one of the eyes in the male, subequal in the female, little 

 narrowed forward, transversely carinate, the carinnlse rather roundly 

 conipresso-elevated on each side, middle lightly carinate, in profile 

 not advanced beyond the eyes ; fi'ontal costa arcuately elevated 

 between the antennae, rather widely sulcate, the rami straight ; 

 antennae short and not as long as the head, inserted distinctly below 

 or anterior to the eyes. Pronotum dej^ressed, anteriorly truncate, 

 dilated between the distinct humeral angles, carinse laterally little 

 compressed just behind the shoulders, the subulate apical process 

 lengthily extended backward beyond the posterior femoral apices ; 

 dorsum rugose tuberculate, between the shoulders bearing abbre- 

 viated carinulse ; median carina bicristate forward, strongly sinuate 

 just before the shoulders, the forward crest often little higher than 

 the second elevation ; median carina posteriorly very little com- 

 pressed and straight, minutely serrate ; lateral carinse strongly com- 

 pressed at the shoulders, posteriorly on the process serrulate ; pro- 

 zonal carinte, short, little expressed and parallel ; posterior angles 

 of the lateral lobes distinctly flattened quadrate, the j)osterior angles 

 obtuse, behind obliquely truncate. Elytra oval ; wings fully ex- 

 plicate, extended backward beyond the pronotal process in the 

 female, or not at all in the male. Anterior femora strongly com- 

 pressed, margins above sinuate, below foliaceo-trilobate, the middle 

 lobe large with sinuate margin ; posterior femora scabrous and 

 having the external area between the carinre tuberculose, the 

 external carinas bidentate or lobate in the female ; hind tibiae 

 fuscous marked with white at the middle and near the knees ; first 

 article of the posterior tarsi longer than the third, the third pulvilli 

 little longer than the rest. 



Entire length of body, male and female, 9"8-ll"5 mm. ; pronotum 

 9-10'5 mm. ; posterior femora 4-4*5 mm.
