palpi cylindrical ; clypeus moderately long, separated from the frontal 
part by a sharp transverse keel, blunt in front with the outer angles 
rounded and the margins reflexed, slightly declivous in the anterior 
part, the labrum short, narrow, not incised, head plainly carinate 
above the eyes, frontal part with a moderately raised transverse ledge 
separating it from the vertex; antennz 9-jointed, second joint 
nodose, third a little longer and narrower than fourth, which is 
shaped like an elongated obliquely truncated cone, fifth and sixth 
compressed but with their inner side projecting very little and fitting 
close against the three joints of the club, which are as long as the 
pedicel, but plainly spatulate ; prothorax ampliated laterally and 
sub-aculeate in the centre, posterior angles rounded, base sinuate ; 
elytra not broader at the shoulders than the base of the prothorax, 
but very clearly ampliated from the humeral part, covering half the 
propygidium, and with neither suture nor costule; anterior tibize 
tri-dentate outwardly, the basal tooth very weak, posterior and 
intermediate with an entire oblique ciliate keel, the posterior dilated 
at apex, and with the two spurs sharp; anterior tarsi somewhat 
short, posterior moderately long, closely ciliate underneath, basal 
joint much shorter than the second; claws short, three-toothed, the 
upper tooth is sharp and curved underneath, the median one rounded 
at the apex but somewhat curved like the apical one and not so long, 
and the sub-basal tooth is similar to, but slightly shorter than, the 
intermediate one ; pygidium of the male as broad as long, somewhat

Testaceous, with the frontal part fuscous and the prothorax 
testaceous-red ; clypeus sparsely punctate, labrum densely 
pubescent, clypeal keel very high, transverse; frontal part 
deeply and closely punctate and having a slight, median 
longitudinal raised line, sharply carinate laterally from the 
angle of the clypeal suture to the vertex the suture of which 
is very distinct, the head is glabrous except the base which 
has a broad fringe of short, appressed yellow hairs; prothorax 
convex in the posterior part, somewhat angulate laterally in the 
middle, sparingly ciliate laterally and along the base, glabrous on 
the upper side and covered with deep, round punctures separated 
by an interval narrower than their diameter, and having a plain 
median longitudinal impressed line; scutellum cordate, punctulate, 
nearly glabrous except the basal part; elytra plainly ampliated 
laterally at a short distance from the shoulders, slightly depressed
