serrate in the anterior, the outer margin has the normal fringe of 
sete, and the base is briefly pubescent, the surface is sprinkled with 
round punctures, somewhat distant from each other except along the 
anterior edge, and has a median impunctate transverse space ; 
scutellum closely punctulate in the basal part, above the transverse: 
impression, and with one puncture only on each side; elytra a little 
ampliated laterally past the median part, covered with closely set 
round punctures bearing each a most minute hair, and separated 
from each other by a space equal to their diameter; pygidium with 
scattered, somewhat shallow round punctures more closely set in the- 
anterior part; pectus very little pubescent; anterior tibiz tri-dentate, 
tarsi short, claw of anterior tarsi very divaricating, upper claw much 
longer than the lower one which appears thus more vertical than it 
really is, and slightly emarginate underneath at the tip; basal joint 
of hind tarsi clubbed at the tip, as long as the second one. 
Male not known with certainty. 
Length 14-15 mm. ; width 8-81 mm.

Plate XLI., fig. 55. 
Pale testaceous, with the head and prothorax light brick-red ; 
clypeus rounded laterally in the anterior part, which is plainly 
emarginate in the centre, the anterior margin is reflexed, the clypeal 
carina is plainly sinuate on each side of the median part, which is 
broadly triangular, with the apex directed towards the basal very 
sharp carina, the median part of which is also broadly triangular 
with the apex directed forwards, the whole surface is covered with 
round, broad not contiguous punctures, and there is no trace of 
clypeal suture ; prothorax ampliated laterally at a short distance 
from the basal angle, very broadly rounded thence to the base, and 
with the crenulate margin slightly sinuate, the surface is covered 
with nearly equi-distant punctures, smaller and more scabrose in 
the anterior than in the posterior part, and separated everywhere by 
a space of about their own diameter, the anterior part is transversely 
impressed, and the lateral fringe of sete is not dense; scute!lum 
very closely punctured all over; elytra sub-cylindrical, covered with 
closely set punctures separated from each other by a space equal to 
their width and bearing each a very small, flavescent hair; pygidium 
covered with closely set foveolate punctures; pectus very little 
pubescent ; abdominal segments densely punctulate laterally, less so 
in the middle, each puncture bearing a flavescent appressed hair ;
