amphiate laterally past the median part, and only very slightly 
attenuate obliquely thence to the sharp basal angle, covered with 
nearly equi-distant round punctures, deeper on the sides, the 
margins of which are not very distinctly crenulate; scutellum 
covered with broad punctures except at the apex; elytra a little 
ampliated laterally in the posterior part, deeply punctured ; pygidium 
covered on each side with foveolate punctures, leaving, however, a 
longitudinal, narrow, median smooth space; abdominal segments 
closely punctured except for a narrow, median space, each puncture 
bearing a hair a little longer than those on the upper side, penulti- 
mate segment broader than the preceding, apical one swollen ; tarsi 
long, upper claw of the anterior tarsi very slender and shorter than 
the lower. 
Female unknown.

Chestnut-brown ; head and prothorax ferruginous, each puncture 
on the upper side bears a whitish, small, yet conspicuous hair, the 
ciliz along the outer margins of the prothorax and of the anterior 
part of the elytra are long, and the pectus is very pubescent ; club of 
antenne flavescent; frontal part of the head and also the clypeus 
very closely and deeply punctured, the punctures non-granulose, the 
former is blunt in the median anterior part, but hardly sinuate, the 
clypeal carina is very arcuate, and somewhat angular in the middle ; 
the basal carina is not much raised, and is grooved; prothorax 
moderately rounded laterally at about the median part, very little 
narrowed, and not sinuate thence to the basal angle, covered with 
irrecular, round, cicatricose punctures set somewhat closely along 
the anterior margin and the sides, but much more scattered and 
broader in the posterior, and haying there a median, smooth, some- 
what raised space, and a few smaller similar areas across ; the outer 
margins are serrate, more strongly so in the anterior than in the 
posterior part; scutellum with two irregular lateral rows of pune- 
tures ; elytra ampliate laterally from about the median part, the 
punctures deep; pygidium with scattered, fairly deep punctures ; 
abdominal segments as closely and numerously punctured in the 
median part as on the sides, penultimate one wider than the pre- 
ceding, last one broad, very swollen; tarsi long. The claws are 
missing in my male example. The female is unknown.
