elytra wider at the base than the prothorax, sinuate laterally in the 
anterior part, a little ampliated past the middle, covered with fine 
irregularly disposed but somewhat closely set punctures each bearing 
a minute greyish-fulvous appressed hair, the juxta-sutural stria is 
distinct only in the anterior part, and there are two dorsal very faint 
costules on each side; propygidium broad, covered with fine asperous 
punctures each bearing a fine, short, appressed flavescent hair ; 
pygidium small, vertical, punctured like the pygidium and also 
clothed with a short, appressed pubescence, the sides of the abdominal 
segments are similarly punctured and pubescent, the penultimate 
abdominal segment is nearly twice as broad as the ante- 
penultimate, and the legs are villose and irregularly foveolato- 
punctate. 
Length 17-214 mm.; width 8-94 mm.

Mentum broad, convex, bulging laterally with the outer angles 
sharp at their junction with the narrower ligular part which is short, 
deeply emarginate near the lateral insertion of the palpi, expanding 
a little towards the apex where it is broadly emarginate in the 
middle, separated from the mentum by a plainly triangular, some- 
what indistinct suture; the two basal joints of the labial palpi 
short, broad, apical one strongly swollen on the outside; maxille 
moderately long, somewhat narrow, upper lobe laminate, rounded at 
the tip and emarginate and ciliate inwardly and also along the 
margin, inner lobe projecting beyond the base of the upper one as 
a somewhat sharp hooked tooth, and densely ciliate ; maxillary palpi 
moderately long, last joint fusiform, nearly as long as the two pre- 
ceding, which are of nearly equal length ; mandibles triquetrous, not 
much curved at apex; head strongly declivous from the vertex to 
the apical part of the clypeus, and not quite as long as the latter, 
sharply carinate laterally for half the length, the vertex higher than 
the broad basal part and having a more or less sharply defined trans- 
verse prominence, frontal part separated from the clypeus by a 
groove the edges of which are sometimes slightly carinate, the 
anterior vertical part of the clypeus is not very broad, the anterior 
margin is reflexed, the labrum is strongly developed, transverse, not 
incised ; the 10-jointed antennz have a tri-jointed club as long as
