elevations no higher than suture, interspaces not granulate, finely 
punctured, with rather numerous, rather short, erect, yellow hairs.

PLATE 21, Ficure 22 
Male—Reddish brown, with summit of pronotum slightly lighter ; 
1.27 mm. long, 2.69 times as long as wide. 
Frons convex above, transversely impressed below, surface brightly 
shining, very finely, not very closely punctured, with fine, inconspicu- 
ous hairs; median carina very feebly indicated. Eye of moderate 
size, with moderate facets, less than half divided by emargination. 
Antenna (fig. 22) with club obovate, 1.25 times as long as wide, 1.60 
times as long as funicle; first suture moderately arcuate, incompletely, 
moderately strongly septate, second and third sutures indicated only 
by imperfect rows of setae. 
Pronotum 1.15 times as long as wide, widest at base, posterior outline 
weakly arcuate, posterior angles feebly rounded; sides nearly straight, 
feebly arcuate from base to weak constriction anterior to middle, 
moderately rounded in front, with margin finely, closely serrate; 
summit low, with transverse impression behind it very shallow; an- 
terior area with asperities arranged in irregularly concentric rows, 
not extending behind middle at sides; posterior area somewhat shining, 
finely reticulate, punctures deep, moderate in size and spacing; median 
line impunctate, not elevated, extending to summit; disk glabrous, 
anterior area with short, fine hairs. 
Elytra scarcely at all wider than pronotum, 1.64 times as long as 
wide, 1.46 times as long as pronotum; widest near middle, with sides 
very feebly arcuate, moderately narrowly rounded behind; surface 
rather weakly shining, finely reticulate; strial rows nearly regular, 
only first striae impressed and these very slightly, punctures fine, not 
very deep; interspaces flat, impunctate on disk and sides, glabrous. 
Declivity evenly arched, suture scarcely more elevated than on disk, 
first striae very weakly impressed; with only minute hairs and these 
mostly from strial punctures, devoid of granules.
