Thorax transverse, transversely finely plicate, unequal, broader 
than long, slightly narrowest in front ; anterior margin nearly 
straight, sides subparallel ; basal margin with the median lobe 
short, broad, and its sides oblique, a curved raised space at 
each posterior angle, with a sinuate depression winding round 
in front of it. Scutellum broad at the base, with a transverse 
basal ridge, acuminate at the apex. LElytra acicularly sub- 
rugosely punctate, with a basal triangular fovea at the inner
