with four quadrately placed punctures on the disc and 
another on each side on the anterior border, otherwise prac-

coriaceous.

the sides and without ground-sculpture. Elytra transverse, 
studded with moderately large and moderately close granules. 
Abdomen nearly impunctate. 
Eighth dorsal segment on either side furnished with a 
long, straight, inwardly directed spine ; the posterior margin 
deeply emarginate internal to the spines, and produced and 
gradually narrowed in the middle, forming a roundly pointed 
lobe, not extending back quite so far as the apex of the
