the median part which is slightly ampliated, and covered with equally 
distant, moderately deep, round punctures separated from each other 
by a space equal to their diameter, and apparently glabrous ; pygidium 
with scattered round punctures; pectus clothed with a long, dense 
flavescent pubescence ; seriated punctures of the abdominal segment 
not deep and bearing a short hair, penultimate segment not wider 
than the preceding one; anterior tibiz tri-dentate; anterior tarsi 
moderately long, upper claw longer than the lower one and not quite 
so wide ; basal joint of hind tarsi a little dilated at the tip and longer 
than the one following.

Head and prothorax chestnut-brown, elytra and under side ferru- 
ginous-red, shining, glabrous on the upper side but haying a fringe 
of not closely set sete along the outer margin of the prothorax and 
elytra, pectus thickly villose, abdominal segments with the normal 
transverse row of long, appressed hairs; clypeus plainly obtuse in 
front, slightly sinuate in the middle, especially in the male, margin 
reflexed, and emitting in both sexes a distinct, median longitudinal 
ridge stopping a little short of the clypeal carina which is sharp and 
arcuate, there is no impressed line behind it, and the gene are con- 
spicuously projecting in a triangle much rounded at the top, the 
basal carina is formed by a very slightly raised line having a series 
of deep punctures immediately adjoining it, and the surface of the 
whole head has deep, round, somewhat scattered punctures except 
along the anterior part of the clypeal and the posterior part of the 
basal carinee ; prothorax a little ampliated laterally past the median 
part, plainly attenuate thence to the apex, distinctly serrate, closely 
scabrose on the upper side from the apex to near the base, somewhat 
scabroso-punctate there and having in the centre a somewhat indis- 
tinct smooth longitudinal line sometimes wanting, the base is fringed 
with dense flavescent hairs ; scutellum sparsely punctulate all over ; 
elytra elongated, slightly ampliated laterally past the median part, 
covered with moderately deep punctures separated from each other 
by a larger space than their diameter and bearing each a most minute 
hair; anterior tibiz strongly tri-dentate, tarsi longer than the tibie,
