with a complete, rather broad, but not sharply limited, yellow 

 border. The clypeus and tarsi are red, and there is sometimes a 

 narrow median longitudinal red line upon the pronotum. 



It is ovate, somewhat depressed, and clothed above and beneath 

 with rather close yellowish hair. The head is shining and coarsely, 

 not closely, granulated, with the clypeus small, its sides gradually 

 converging to form a strongly recurved rostrum about as long as 

 it is wide and rounded at the end. The pronotum is strongly and 

 closely punctured, with its sides evenly rounded, the front angles 

 nearly right angles and the hind angles rounded off. The scu- 

 telluin is rather finely punctured, and the elytra are coarsely and 

 rather confluently punctured, with not very distinct costae. The 

 pygidium is finely punctured and clothed with erect hairs. The 

 sides of the metasternurn bear rather coarse and close punctures. 

 The front tibia is armed with three strong teeth, the second and 

 third separated by a sharp notch, and the longer claw of the 

 front and middle feet is minutely cleft at a distance from the tip.

Ferrugineous red, with the femora and tibiae yellow; the fore- 

 head, vertex, the disc of the pronotum (generally), the elytra 

 (sometimes with the lateral margins remaining pale) and the 

 pygidium, nearly black. 



It is ovate in form, rather depressed, and clothed above and 

 beneath with soft yellowish hair. The 

 clypeus is very shining and strongly 

 granulated, with its sides gently curved 

 and gradually converging to form a 

 narrow, strongly recurved rostrum, about 

 as long as it is wide, rounded at the end 

 and gently carinate along the middle. 

 The forehead is also strongly granu- 

 lated. The pronotum is closely, evenly 

 and rather finely punctured, with its 

 sides gently rounded, the front angles 

 slightly acute and the hind angles 

 rounded off. The scutellum is rather
