with deep, short, divergent frontal fovee. Prothorax trans- 
verse (about 2°0 mm. wide), shiny, moderately and uni- 
formly convex, except that the sides are rather flattened, 
especially near hind angles ; base slightly bisinuate at sides, 
wider than apex, front margin truncate, angles rounded, 
inconspicuous ; sides moderately rounded, hind angles ebtuse 
but not much rounded, all margins bordered, except that the 
border is obsolete over the middle third of front margin and 
between the basal sulci ; median line faint, basal sulci narrow 
but well marked, punctate, as is the flattened area at sides. 
Elytra ovate, shiny, about half as long again as wide, 
shoulders rounded (but the basal border is bent a little 
forward towards them), moderately striate, intervals nearly 
flat, a little more convex towards apex. Prosternal process 
bordered in front, but not at extremity ; mesepisterna and 
metasternum smooth. 
The species is a little more elongate than the genotype, the 
thoracic border interrupted in front, but extending over the 
sides of the base, basal sulci wider and deeper, sides punctate 
near hind angles, shoulders of elytra less rounded, intervals 
flatter, testaceous pattern evidently differing.
