sinuous before the eyes, forehead flattish ; the thorax bisinuate 
behind the head, punctured finely behind the neck and on the 
disk, punctures much larger at the sides and along the base, 
no scutellar fovea; the elytra are punctured like the sides of 
the thorax, sutural margin narrowly smooth, suture feebly 
raised before the apex to the middle of the dorsum, epipleural 
stria continues round the suturai angle, dorsal striee indistinct ; 
the propygidium evenly, not closely punctured; pygidium in 
the female evenly punctulate, in the male punctulate except 
at the apex, which is transversely rough and very densely 
punctured; the prosternum, lobe sparsely but distinctly 
punctate, keel bistriate, stria feebly sinuous, bent at both 
ends, but not connected at either; the mesosternum without 
a transverse stria, suture apparent and, like the metasternum, 
sparsely and finely punctured, especially in the median area ; 
anterior tibiz 4-dentate.

L. 2 mill. 
Oblong-oval, rather convex, black, shining, punctured 
above; the head rather broad, impressed in front, stria com- 
plete, surface clearly and evenly, not thickly punctured ; the 
thorax, stria complete and strong at the sides, very fine behind 
the head, wholly punctured, with a distinct scutellar fovea 
visible amongst the punctures, anterior angles rather de- 
pressed, anterior margin impressed behind the eyes; the elytra 
punctured like the thorax except in the sutural area before 
the apex, where the punctures are oblong, epipleural stria 
continues along the apex and turns round the sutural angle, 
one oblique obsolete stria; the propygidium sparsely and 
evenly punctulate; the pygidium in the male has a raised 
exterior margin, and within the margin the whole surface is 
evenly vermiculate in sculpture, in the female the pygidium 
is immarginate, irregularly and sparsely punctured at the 
base, nearly smooth at the apex; the prosternum bistriate, 
strie parallel at the sides, bent inwards at either end, keel 
with a few punctures very irregularly set, anterior lobe some-
