The broader outline and strongly tuberculate elytra 

 are the principal peculiarities of this very distinct species ; 

 the stiff scales diverge at the apex of the elytra, so that 

 it appears to be emarginate.

To this genus probably belongs Cryptorhynchus infula- 

 tuSj'Ev. (Wiegm. Arch, 1842, i. 203). The eyes are 

 unusually finely facetted. The genus has quite the habit 

 of Chcetectetorus.
