287 



Head very finely and closely punctured, vertex with longitudinal 

 groove ; clypeus rugose-punctate, anterior 

 margin slightly concave; antennae ex- 



joint slightly longer than fourth. Thorax 

 twice as broad as long, of even width, 

 sides strongly rounded at middle ; surface 

 as closely but rather more strongly 

 punctured than the head, punctures of 

 even size, somewhat more crowded at 

 the sides. Elytra with slight basal de- 

 pression, very closely and deeply punc- 

 tured in somewhat regular rows ; inter- 

 stices strongly transversely rugose at sides 

 nearly to the apex, the latter longitudinally 

 costate. 



Length 6 mm. 



Hal. Sylhet. 



Distinguished from other allied species

<3 . Oblong-ovate, convex. Head sparingly and finely punc- 

 tured ; clypeus more strongly and closely punctate ; antennae 

 extending to apex of elytra, third and fourth joints equal, elongate,

 punctured.
