yellowish ; clypeus deeply and somewhat rugosely punctured, trun- 
cate in front in the male, sinuate in the female, suture fairly distinct, 
punctures on the head not as rugose as on the clypeus, and separated 
from each other by a space equal to their diameter; prothorax more 
attenuated laterally in the anterior than in the posterior part, 
bulging and rounded in the middle, very slightly convex, with the 
margins not reflexed, and covered with round, not contiguous 
punctures more closely set on the sides than on the disk, and 
slightly deeper in the male than in the female; scutellum ogival, 
finely punctate laterally ; elytra plainly callose close to the humeral 
angle, slightly sinuate there, and thence very slightly ampliated, 
moderately convex, and with two dorsal costules on each side, the 
suture is raised, and the intervals are filled with round punctures 
with smooth intervals nearly equal in width to the diameter of 
the punctures, the latter are seriate on the sides; apical part of pro- 
pygidium and pygidium deeply punctured; abdomen and meta- 
sternum also deeply and closely punctured, each puncture bears a 
minute, sub-flavescent hair; legs slightly hairy; anterior tibize tri- 
dentate, tarsi longer in the male than in the female, and much more 
densely hairy underneath especially the anterior and intermediate 
ones, the second and third joints of the anterior tarsi, and also the 
apical part of the first which is longer than either of the other two, 
are very plainly dilated triangularly at the tip; the joints of the 
intermediate and posterior ones are normal; in the female the 
second and third joints of the anterior tarsi are also dilated, but 
only slightly.
