otherwise glabrous. Antennae with the 2nd and 3rd joints of equal

 the 7th to the 10th transverse, gradually but very slightly increas- 

 ing in breadth, the 11th oblong, rounded at the apex, longer than 

 the two preceding together. Thorax a little transverse, widest just 

 before the middle, the sides from thence rounded and narrowed 

 anteriorly, more strongly contracted and slightly sinuate behind 

 to the obtuse posterior angles; base and sides bordered, the former 

 with a fovea in front of the scutellum; sculpture consisting of a 

 few scattered setiferous punctures. .Scutellum triangular, rather 

 coarsely closely and deeply punctured. Elytra wider than and 

 scarcely as li^ig as the thorax, tiansverse, puncturation rather line 

 and by no means close, setiferous. Abdomen with the anterior

 short and stout, slightly curved, the 3rd (slongate, oval, longer than 

 the 2nd, the 4tli short, subulate. Tongue moderately long, bifid 

 at the a])ex into two diverging lobes. Labial palpi 2-jointed, the 

 1st joint elongate, cylindrical, lightly curved, the 2nd much shorter 

 and narrower than the 1st, cylindrical. Prosternum broadly trun- 

 cate posteriorly; mesosternum narrowed and truncate at apex 

 extending for about one-half the length of the intermediate coxae, 

 which are distant; metasternal process short and broad, not quite 

 attaining the mesosteinal piocess. Tarsal formula 5, 5, 5. The

 3rd still longer, the 4th as long as the 3rd, the 5th as long as the 

 two preceding together. Middle pair with the first three joints of 

 equal length, the 4th a little longer than the 3rd, the 5tli as long 

 as the two precciding togethei'. Posterior pair with the first foiu- 

 joints subequal, moderately long, -the 5th a little longer than the
