 particularly close and uniform on the elytra ; head between the 

 eyes black and remotely punctured ; prothorax impunctate, with 

 a single transverse groove anteriorly, and a transverse undefined 

 impression posteriorly ; scutellum white ; elytra entirely impunc- 

 tate, with only a few small granulations at the base, the sides 

 slightly tawny, apices emarginate, the sutural angle with a small
