Oligotini.

 shining, exceedingly finely punctured, and covered with fine yellowish 

 pubescence. Antennae very short and stout with 4-jointed club, 

 entirely testaceous. Legs testaceous. Length -75 mm. 



Head exceedingly finely, scarcely perceptibly and moderately 

 closely punctured. Antennae with the 2nd joint a little longer 

 than broad, the 3rd to the 6th minute, quadrate, differing but little 

 from one anotlier, the 7tli distinctly transverse and larger than the 

 Gth, the 8tli and 9th much more strongly tiansverse, thi'ce times 

 as broad as long, the 10th large, oval, nearly equal in length to the 

 three preceding together. Thorax widest at the base, twice as 

 broad as Jong, the sides evenly rounded and contracted to the 

 anterior angles; puncturation and pubescence similar to that of 

 the head. Elytra transverse, as broad as, and a little longer than, 

 the thorax (measured along the suture), the sides parallel ; punctura- 

 tion and pubescence exceedingly fine, rather closer than on the 

 thorax. Abdomen gradually narrowed posteriorly, uniformly and 

 exceedingly finely punctured, much the same as the elytra; pubes-
