tures slightly cicatricose in the anterior part, separated by a space 
equal to their diameter, in the centre there is a somewhat plain, 
smooth line having the appearance of being slightly raised ; 
scutellum with a marginal row of deep punctures, a basal one, 
and two or three punctures transversely set; elytra elongated, 
normally sinuate laterally, deeply punctured with the intervals non- 
coriaceous, and the hairs in the punctures extremely small; 
pygidium covered with moderately deep, sub-cicatricose, equally 
distant punctures separated from each other by a space equal to 
their diameter ; pectus not densely hairy ; abdominal segments with 
long hairs in the punctures; penultimate segment almost twice as 
broad as the one preceding, last one flat, moderately broad; upper 
tooth of all the claws shorter and more slender than the lower in the

the lateral punctures squamose; elytra not much elongated,
