moderate, their diameter shorter than that of the temples ; 
the posterior angles broadly rounded, the vertex with a 
rounded impression; puncturation fine and close, finely 
pubescent. Antenne with the third joint as long as the 
second, the fourth to the tenth transverse, gradually in- 
creasing in width, the penultimate two and a half times 
broader than long. Thorax distinctly transverse, broader 
than the head, brown, widest a little behind the anterior 
angles, the sides from thence rounded and contracted 
anteriorly, more strongly narrowed behind to the obtuse 
posterior angles, the puncturation rather finer and distinctly 
less close than that of the head, finely pubescent. Elytra 
a little longer and broader than the thorax, slightly trans-
