Oblong-ovate, subparallel, tolerably robust, finely pubescent, flavo- 

 testaceous. Head short, transverse, hardly produced ; immediately 

 above the base of the antenna? is a medial longitudinal fovea, which 

 is terminated at its upper extremity by a transverse channel extend- 

 ing at right angles to it between the eyes, these channels forming 

 together the character of the letter T : eyes large, black, situated at 

 the base of the head, extending laterally not quite so far as the an- 

 terior angles of the thorax : the surface finely punctate throughout. 

 Thorax transverse, the anterior angles depressed, the sides margi- 

 nate; at the base is a shallow transverse depression; the surface 

 finely punctate throughout. Scutellum triangular. Elytra some- 

 what broader than the thorax, subparallel, distinctly punctate-striate ; 

 an antemedial transverse depression gives an appearance of promi- 

 nence to the base ; the surface is clothed throughout with fine and 

 sparingly distributed flavous pubescence. Antenna; robust, somewhat 

 incrassated towards the apex, clothed distinctly with several hairs of 

 unequal length at right angles to the joints of the antennae ; the first 

 joint longer than any of the others, and dilated at its apex ; the 

 second broad, short, ovate ; the third to the sixth of equal length, 

 not longer than the second, and attenuated ; the seventh to the eleventh 

 short and dilated ; in colour, the first to the ninth flavous, the tenth 

 and eleventh fuscous. Legs flavous throughout.
