the channel, lower portion obsoletely tuberculate, finely punctured 



and reticulate, anterior portion clothed with grey pubescence. 

 Elytra constricted at the middle, a tubercle 

 at middle of base, a transverse one near 

 suture at middle and two or three near 

 apex, all more or less connected by longi- 

 tudinal and transverse ridges, interstices 

 strongly punctured and reticulate. Py- 

 gidium tricarinate, the ridges connected at 

 base by a transverse costa. 

 Length 4 mm.

 The pubescence of the head and thorax 

 is only present in well-preserved specimens, 

 where it is very distinct but was not noticed 

 by Baly. That author makes no mention 



of any ridges connecting the tubercles of the elytra, nor of those 



to be seen at the sides of the thorax.

Black, opaque ; basal joint of antennae, labrum, anterior femora 

 and tarsi fulvous. 



Broadly subquadrate. Head flat, variegated with fulvous, closely 

 and finely punctured, each puncture with 

 a short yellow seta ; palpi fulvous ; 

 antennae fuscous, basal joint fulvous. 

 Thorax very closely punctured, sides with 

 a small callosity, middle portion very 

 moderately and obliquely raised, narrowly 

 sulcate at top of posterior portion, with 

 two slight ridges that run downwards at 

 the sides towards the anterior margin, 

 the inner ridge forms the limit of the 

 median sulcus above. Scutellum finely 

 carinate. Elytra with a compressed 

 tubercle at middle of base, a sinuate 

 ridge parallel with suture from base ending behind the middle 

 in a strongly-raised transverse tubercle, a similar tubercle at 

 middle of outer disc that extends in a ridge upwards to the 

 shoulders, a third and less strongly-marked ridge near lateral 

 margins ; apical portion occupied by another semicircular distinct 

 ridge, highly raised near the suture, from whence it turns outwards 

 and is lost near the margins ; interstices strongly rugose and 

 uneven; suture serrate. Breast closely rugose-punctate. Pygidium 

 finely punctured, with central and lateral ridges. 

 Length 5 rnm.
