 Caput parvum, antice subquadratum, tuberibus antenniferis 

 validis, basi approximatis. Oculi profunde divisi. Antennce 

 breves, lineares; scapo tenue cylindrico; articulo tertio multo 

 longiori ; quarto tertio breviori ; sequentibus multo breviori- 

 bus. Prothorax antice angustus, ad latera rotundatus et 

 dente antico instructus, basin versus dilatatus, angulis posticis 

 rectis. Elytra ampliata, convexa, basi callosa, humeris pro- 

 ducta, apicem versus sensim angustiora. Pedes robusti ; tih'ice 

 intermediae intus dentatae. Pro- et meso-sterna elevata, hoc 

 antice dentato. 

 From Praonctha this genus differs in the toothed prothorax 

 gradually enlarging to the base, the more convex elytra giving the 

 back a rounded outline (not nearly straight as in that genus\ the 

 nearly linear antennae, the produced mesosternum, and the toothed 

 intermediate tibiae.

Covered with a short brownish-ochraceous pubescence, inter- 

 rupted with numerous black, very distinct, punctures; on the head 

 they are much smaller than on the prothorax ; on the latter the 

 ochraceous varies in depth so as to form indistinct longitudinal 

 lines; scutellum transverse; elytra with black shining granules 

 at the base, especially on the two strongly elevated callosities, 

 behind the middle a very bright and distinct, round, pale ochreous
