wider than long, middle about equal to base, apex three-fourths as 

 wide as base; sides beyond basal lateral expansion slightly expanding 

 to middle, rounded to constricted apex; in profile dorsal surface nearly 

 flat; punctation shallow, 0.03 mm. in diameter, interspaces about 

 equal to diameter of punctures, alutaceous; basal fovea moderately 

 deep, punctiform. Elytra at humeri one-third wider than prothorax 

 at base, 2.6 times as long as prothorax, length to width as 13 : 10; 

 intervals twice as wide as striae, somewhat convex, with one row of 

 rather coarse scales, with irregular, fine, transverse rugae; striae fine, 

 with deep, coarse, well separated punctures; striae rather shallow. 

 Scutellum triangular, 0.06 by 0.06 mm., with slight median furrow. 

 Front femora about 3.5 times as long as wide. Claws with acute 

 basal tooth.

 moderate, fine, whitish, sparse, coarser and denser on sides of meso- 

 thorax and metathorax. Male beak as long as head and pro- 

 thorax combined, deflexed in middle, strongly expanded laterally and 

 ventrally at antennal insertion, attenuate to middle, nearly cylindrical 

 to apex; in basal two-thh-ds moderately punctured and sparsely 

 pubescent, apex smooth, shining. Female beak slightly longer than 

 head and prothorax, moderately strongly curved, basal fifth stout, 

 cylindrical, in dorsal view beak at middle two-thirds as wide as at base,
