From Carpenfarice it differs by,, infer alia, the much stronger 

 sinuation of the hind part of the sides of the prothorax and 

 the 8th joint of its antennae considerably more transverse.

The form of the prothorax seems to be the most con- 

 sjiicuous character of this species ; the rounded sides of that 

 segment distinctly converging from a little behind the middle 

 to the base, but without the slightest sinuation, with front 

 angles almost obtuse and hind corners scarcely sharply right 

 angled, are very distinctive. The only other described spe- 

 cies known to me with the 3rd, 5th, and 7th interstices of 

 the elytra, so strongly defined is Walkeri, Champ., which dif- 

 fers widely in the form of its prothorax.
