clypeus somewhat oblique laterally, truncate in front with the outer 
sides somewhat broadly rounded, very slightly emarginate in the 
middle in both sexes, clypeal carina arcuate, no clypeal groove, no 
basal carina or groove, the surface, except the basal part, is closely 
scrobiculate ; antennal club of antenne flavescent, long in the male ; 
prothorax plainly ampliated and rounded laterally past the median 
part, and less obliquely attenuated thence towards the sharp basal 
angle than towards the anterior, outer margin somewhat finely 
serrulate, the whole surface covered with somewhat cicatricose, equi- 
distant punctures, a little more widely set, however, in the discoidal 
part than on the sides and along the anterior margin, the intervals 
on the median dorsal part are nearly smooth but much narrower and 
slightly scabrose on the sides; scutellum pluri-punctate except at 
the apex; elytra elongated, nearly cylindrical in both sexes, very 
closely and deeply punctured, and with the intervals much 
narrower than the latter; propygidium and pygidium very closely 
and finely punctate in both sexes, each puncture bearing a minute 
squamulose hair; pectus not hairy; abdomen hardly depressed in 
the centre in the male, not very convex in the female, all the seg- 
ments are nearly as closely punctured in the middle as on the sides, 
the penultimate is broader than the one preceding, and the last 
one is wide and swollen in both the sexes; the basal tooth of the 
anterior tibiee is very small in the male, and almost obliterated in 
the female; the tarsi are long, and the upper tooth of all the claws 
much more slender, especially in the male, than the lower.

Testaceous, elytra somewhat paler than the prothorax, head 
darker; palpi and antennze somewhat ferruginous; head narrow, 
eyes very large; clypeus plainly emarginate in front, clypeal carina 
sub-triangularly arcuate in the middle, suture distinct in the centre 
of the frontal part, separated there from the apex of the carina by a 
double row of punctures, and slightly bi-sinuate, basal carina sinuate, 
surface of clypeus and forehead covered with deep, nearly coalescing 
punctures except in the centre above the suture; prothorax 
ampliated laterally at about the median part, less diagonally 
attenuated thence towards the basal part than towards the apical, 
serrulate and moderately densely villose along the outer margin, 
basal angle sharp, surface covered with deep, sub-foveolate punc-
