coarse punctures (instead of being of equal size and depth in all 
parts where they occur) are much larger and deeper near the 
base of the segment than near its apex.

This species is at once distinguishable from the preceding and 
other species (including £. australis) by its shorter antenne in 
which the fourth joint (instead of being markedly longer than 
wide) is quite as wide as long. The black mark on the prothorax 
occupies a little more than the middle one-third of the base and 
extends forward beyond the middle of the segment ; it is deeply 
bilobed in front and near its front emits on either side a lobe- 
like process running obliquely forward and nearly reaching the 
lateral margin; the extreme front also of the prothorax is nar- 
rowly black. The prosternum in front of the coxe is much more 
strongly convex (almost subcarinate) on the middle line than in 
the allied species.
