Head, excluding the eyes, longer than wide from base to 

 frontal margin, trapezoidal, widest behind the eyes. Tempora 

 slightly arcuate, very convergent, as long as the eyes, frontal 

 tubercles high, rounded, space between them concave, foveas 

 moderately large. Vertex impunctate, occiput convex, labrum 

 deeply emarginate, margin crenate. Palpi with the last joint 

 cylindrical, acuminate, not thicker than the globular third 

 joint. AiitenncB as long as the head and prothorax together, 

 first joint cylindrical, half as long as the frontal margin, second 

 to fourth gradually smaller, oblong, rounded, second half as 

 long as the first and nearly as thick; fifth stronger than its 

 neighbors, sixth and seventh small, globular; eighth not 

 wider, transverse, ninth and tenth gradually larger, obconical, 

 eleventh truncate at the base, not wider than the tenth, widest 

 before the middle, bluntly rounded at the tip and as long as the 

 first. Prothorax not wider than the head with the eyes, nearly 

 globose, base arcuate, one-half wider than the neck, foveae 

 small, filled with pubescence, the middle one very near the 

 base, lateral ones invisible from above. Elytra reddish, con- 

 vex, slightly wider than the prothorax across the high, prom- 

 inent shoulders, and three-fourths wider across the tip. The
