 incomplete smooth median longitudinal line, the lateral margins 

 strongly rounded, and all the angles distinct, but not sharp. The 

 scutellum is short and bears only a few punctures. The elytra 

 are very strongly and closely but irregularly punctured, with irre-

 adjoining the suture. The pygidium is scantily punctured ; the 

 metasternum deeply impressed in the middle and very finely and 

 densely punctured at the sides. The abdomen is almost smooth
