The middle of the forehead and epistome is longitudinally 
eonvex ; hence the frontal transverse sntnre is indistinct in 
the middle, and vague and Avide on the sides. The thorax 
is rounded, and about as wide as the elytra ; (juite smooth, 
with the dorsal line moderately impressed. 'I'he elytra 
are moderately elongated, cylindrico-oblong; the striaMvith 
i-ather large punctures, becoming fliinter near the a]3ex, the 
three exterior almost obliterated, but the punctures distinct ; 
the sutural stria alone reaches the basal foveole, all the 
others halt a little short of the base, and the eighth stria 
is composed only of a line of punctures reaching half-Avay 
down the elytron. The legs are pitchy red ; the anterior 
pair darker, Avitli the femora rather brassy. The tei'minal 
spine of the anterior tibia? apjiears rather shorter than the 
s]3ur ; the lower denticulation is prominent and acute, the 
upper one very obtuse. The antenna? have the basal joints 
rufous, and the rest dusky piceous.

Distinguished by its strongly-rounded thorax, Avhich 
shows no trace of the quadrangular form, and is not 
gradually narrowed (but regularly roxmded) anteriorly. 
The transverse frontal suture and lateral grooves are very 
Avide, so that the anterior plate appears as an isolated 
jirominence. The elytra are short, ovate, and strongly 
])unctate in moderately imju'essed stria? ; none of the stria? 
icach the base (the sutural a]iparently not touching the 
basal foveole), and all are obliterated before the apex as in 
D. (/lobosHs. The terminal sj)iue of the anterior tibiae is, 
at least, as long as the spur, and the loAver denticulation is
