broken up by irregular bare transverse 



lines. 

 - ' 9). The distance between the two discal 



carinse on the rostrum at the base but 



little greater than the space betwe< n 



each carina and the eye nearest to it, 



tbe central carina indistinct and hidden 



by scales; stria? on the elytra quite 



straight and regular marmoratus, Fst.

twice as great as that between each 



carina and the adjacent eye ; the cen- 

 tral carina distinct and bare; some of 



the striae on the elytra rather wavy or 



irregular,
