ANISODEEA. 103 



A. broadly elongate, convex ; body beneath and antennae dark shining 

 piceoiis ; above opaqne, fuscous. Head ■\\'ith the vertex longitudi- 

 nally grooved ; five terminal joints of antennoe opaque. Thorax 

 subquadi-ate ; apex indistinctly rounded ; sides parallel, running 

 suddenly inwards at their apex, angled in front and near their 

 middle, aliovc rugose, obsoletely grooved down the midcUe of the 

 disc, the latter with four oblong, shining, indistinctly elevated 

 tubercles ; on each side, externally to these latter, is a broad, deep 

 longitudinal impression, extending nearly the whole length of the 

 thorax. ScutcUum smooth, impmictate. Elytra broader than 

 the base of the thorax, oblong- elongate, slightly broader behind 

 the middle, sides nearly parallel ; apex regularly rounded ; above 

 convex, deeply pimctate-striate, punctming along the outer disc 

 and at the apex ii'regular and less deeply impressed ; each elytron 

 with three raised verrucosa costae, extending fi'om the base nearly 

 to the apex ; lietween the first and second of these, and also on
