 brevi, subprodacto, fovea incisa inter oculos, impunctato, rufo- 

 ferrugineo, Icevi ; thorace quadrato, ad latera etpostice marginato, 

 ad basin constricto et transverse foveolato, impunctato, rufo-ferru- 

 gineo ; elytris depressis, punctis velut in striis ordinatis, nigris, 

 apud medium et ad apicem (juxta suturam) litura ferruginea

Long. corp. 2^ lin., lat. 1 lin. 



Oblong-oval, parallel, depressed, black, shining. Head short, 

 transverse, depressed, bardly elongate in front, impnnctate ; eyes 

 large, subprominent, distant; between the eyes and above tbe in- 

 sertion of the antenna?, which are contiguous, are two small abrupt 

 transverse fovea?, while above them a third (broader and more di- 

 stinct) extends upwards in a longitudinal direction. Thorax qua- 

 drate ; sides marginate, slightly constricted towards the base ; the 

 anterior angles are subacute ; close to the basal line is a narrow 

 transverse groove (which does not terminate, as in the genus Mono- 

 platus, before it reaches the humeral angle, but which extends along 

 the whole of the basal line, and connects itself with the lateral 

 margination) ; surface impunctate, rufo-ferrugineous. Scutellum tri- 

 angular, minute, fulvo-rufous. Elytra depressed, parallel, with rows 

 of punctures arranged in the form of stria? (the stria? being obscurely 

 apparent near the shoulders and at the margination) ; the colour is 

 black, on either side of the suture, postmedially, and especially to- 

 wards the base, irregularly shaded off into rufo-ferrugineous, this 

 decoloration around the postmedial suture being indeterminate and 

 irregularly defined. Antenna} filiform; the first joint dilated and 

 subelongated ; the second short, ovate ; both of these fulvous ; the 

 third attenuate, abbreviated, hardly longer than the second ; the fourth 

 and fifth elongate (the rest are wanting) ; colour fusco-fulvous. Legs : 

 the posterior elongated, flavous, with the apex of the posterior femora 

 and tibia? clothed with fuscous.
