  Elytra

  oblongo- 
  

   ovata,

  Corpus 
  oblongo-ovatum, 
  

   squamosum, 
  majusculse

   Nearly 
  allied 
  to 
  Acantlwluplms, 
  but 
  differs 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  funi- 
  

   culus 
  of 
  the 
  antennae 
  distinctly 
  seven-jointed, 
  — 
  the 
  terminal 
  joint 
  

   not 
  being 
  elongated 
  and 
  closely 
  applied 
  to 
  the 
  club 
  as 
  in 
  that 
  

   genus, 
  — 
  in 
  the 
  head 
  being 
  more 
  produced, 
  and 
  without 
  spines, 
  

   the 
  eyes 
  being 
  oblong; 
  the 
  thorax 
  destitute 
  of 
  spines, 
  much 
  

   broader 
  than 
  long; 
  the 
  sides 
  being 
  much 
  produced 
  and 
  almost 
  

   forming 
  an 
  angle 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  ; 
  the 
  elytra 
  being 
  rather 
  widely 
  

   separated 
  from 
  the 
  prothorax, 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  tarsi 
  being 
  broader 
  : 
  the 
  

   joints 
  of 
  the 
  latter 
  are 
  all 
  of 
  them 
  very 
  nearly 
  equal 
  in 
  width, 
  if 
  

   we 
  except 
  the 
  claw-joint, 
  which 
  is 
  stout 
  and 
  furnished 
  with 
  diverg- 
  

   ing 
  simple 
  claws. 
  The 
  rostrum 
  is 
  about 
  equal 
  to 
  the 
  head 
  in 
  

   length, 
  and 
  is 
  separated 
  from 
  the 
  latter 
  by 
  two 
  slight 
  oblique 
  

   grooves 
  which 
  meet 
  at 
  the 
  forehead 
  ; 
  the 
  antennal 
  groove 
  is 
  very 
  

   deep 
  in 
  front 
  and 
  opens 
  upwards 
  ; 
  it 
  expands 
  and 
  is 
  very 
  shallow 
  

   towards 
  the 
  eye 
  : 
  the 
  jaws 
  are 
  very 
  stout.
