as the body in the male ; first joint stout, subcylindrical. trans- 

 versely wrinkled posteriorly ; third and fourth but slightly thick- 

 ened at the apex; the third nearly one-third longer than the 

 fourth ; fifth to tenth subequal or very slightly increasing in length, 

 each at least as long as the third ; eleventh more than twice as 

 long as the tenth ; antennae of $ about three-fourths the length 

 of the body ; fifth joint slightly shorter than third ; sixth to tenth 

 gradually diminishing in length ; the eleventh barely longer than 

 the tenth. Prothorax feebly rounded at the sides, marked with a 

 transverse groove near the apex and two narrow grooves near 

 the base, the anterior of these two sinuous, the posterior 

 nearly transverse ; disc with an oblong smooth space, not always 

 well defined, extending from the sinuate basal groove up to the 

 middle and limited on each side by a longitudinal impression; 

 the rest of the upper surface between the apical and basal grooves 

 covered with strong irregular ridges. Elytra separately rounded 

 at the apex, armed each with a short spine at the suture. Inter- 

 ocular space on the ventral side of the head densely and finely 

 punctate and thinly pubescent ; this punctate space, which is 



somewhat concentric in 

 shape, is depressed an- 

 teriorly and preceded by a 

 sinuately transverse ridge, 

 in front of which is a 

 groove. The intercoxal pro- 

 cess of prosternum forms an 

 arch which reaches almost 

 to a level with the coxae 

 in the middle ; it is slightly 

 canaliculate along the 

 middle and very feebly 

 protuberant posteriorly. 



Length 58-78; breadth 

 17-23 mm.
