convex, the forehead thiuly pubescent and without green 

 scaling. Rostrum much longer than its width at the base, 

 almost parallel-sided in the basal half, and strongly dilated 

 anteriorly, the basal area broadly and rather deeply im- 

 pressed, the median part of the su!)mentum elevated into a 

 sharp conical process with the point directed backwards. 

 Antenna with the scape gently curved and gradually thick- 

 ened ; the funiclc with joint 2 longer than 1, and 3 to 7 

 longer than broad, Prothorax with the sides subparallel 

 in the basal half and narrowed in front, the dorsal anterior 

 edge very slightly rounded, the ocular lobes strongly pro- 

 duced; the upper surface with close confluent puuctation 

 which is not very distinct through the scaling, with a faint 

 transverse impression before the middle and a deeper 

 rounded impression on each side behind. Elytra with rows 

 ol: large fovese, the intervals very narrow and irregular; in 

 the vicinity of the suture the spaces between the fovese are 

 slightly raised, so that the surface appears transversely 

 rugose ; the sette extremely short, dense, and suberect. 



Length 5^-7, breadth 2|-3 mm.

Black, with dense pale green or greenish-grey scaling 

 throughout, the head and prothorax with a yellowish tinge. 



Head with the eyes rather prominent and lateral ; fore- 

 head with a short central stria. Rustrtim longer than broad, 

 very gradually dilated from the middle to the apex, the 

 dorsal carinse more elevated than usual and continued ou 

 to the forehead. Antenna with the scape distinctly curved ; 

 the funicle with joint 2 longer than 1, the latter longer than 

 3 and 4 together, 5-7 much longer than broad. Prothorax 

 with the sides almost straight and strongly narrowed from 

 base to apex, the dorsal anterior margin straight, the ocular 

 lo!)es absent, being replaced by a tuft of yellow vibrissye, the 

 upper surface rather rugosely punctate, especially towards 

 the sides. Elytra broadest behind the middle { ? ), with 

 rather deep and coarsely puuctnte striae, which, however, 

 appear very narrow and finely punctate when the scaling 

 is intact ; the set£e mostly very short and depressed, but 

 scattei'ed among them a number of comparatively long erect 

 setse.
