Much larger and stouter tlian the two preceding, from which it 

 also differs in the following particulars : no setulose hairs on the 

 upper surface, and no granules on the elytra, the prothorax sub- 

 transverse, with several dull black granules on the disk and on 

 the base of the lateral spines, the humeral tooth very small, the 

 blotch at the base transversely reniform, the apex broadly truncate 

 with the outer spine short, and the scape rough from the presence

 The following species, known in collections as " Leprodera 

 pleuricausta, de Haan," and described under that name by M. 

 Thomson, has been recently separated by that author as the type 

 of this genus, chiefly on account of its shorter antennae. To this 

 may be added that the head is considerably broader in front and 

 not dilated beneath the eyes, the lower lobe of the eye is smaller 

 and oblique, and the elytra have basal crests. The original 

 examples were from Java.
