serrate; dorsal contour evenly arcuate from base to apex, without eleva- 
tion or transverse impression; anterior area with irregularly concen- 
tric rows of low asperities, extending behind middle at sides; posterior 
area with surface subopaque, very finely reticulate, punctures fine 
and very shallow, with outer rim of each slightly elevated; median 
line rather narrow, impunctate, feebly elevated. 
Elytra scarcely wider than pronotum, 1.52 times as long as wide,

sides with strial rows slightly irregular. Declivity moderately strongly 
arched; suture scarcely at all elevated, first stria weakly impressed ; 
first, third, and alternate interspaces with rather short, erect, stout 
hairs, often club-shaped.
