forehead, parallel at the sides, anterior angles rounded, 
shallowly semicircularly emarginate in front, tuberculated 
laterally behind the eyes ; above smooth, without any trace 
of punctuation ; beneath with a rather large triangular im- 
pression on each side for the reception of the antennas in 
repose, these similar in structure to those of the allied 
species, the three apical joints produced into leaflets. 
" Prothorax much dilated behind, anterior margin 
nearly straight; sides oblique, sinuated towards the 
middle, posterior margin semicircularly emarginate ; an- 
terior angles slightly, posterior angles strongly rounded ; 
lateral and posterior margins margined and finely ciliated ; 
above smooth, with a shght depression on each side, near 
the anterior margin ; middle of disk and lateral margins 
slightly punctate.

" Elytra subparallel, slightly narrowed anteriorly ; 
shoulders somewhat prominent in front, margined and 
ciliated at the sides, shining, covered with a sparse punc- 
tuation and a very short hispid golden-silky pubescence, 
each elytron with four rather obsolete ridges. 
" Beneath with the abdomen somewhat thickly punctate, 
the punctuation sparser on the legs and thorax, with a 
pubescence similar to that on the vipper surface, but 
shorter^and denser ; legs clothed with longer hairs, disposed 
in ciliae on the intermediate and posterior tibiaa, the anterior 
tibise armed externally in front with two large teeth, and 
behind with five or six small ones."

canthus. Prothorax slightly rounded at the sides, pos- 
terior angles scarcely emarginate, with a faint central 
longitudinal channel and a shallow depression on each 
side. Elytra, as in the male, slightly costate. Scutellum
