 reaching to apical fourth, posteriorly approaching suture. 



Frons densely shagreened, mesially sulcate. Scape of antenna coarsely rugate 

 on ujiperside. Prothorax half as long again as broarl, narrowest at base, a little 

 wider in middle than at apex, faintly raised transversely in middle, densely punctate-
