with deep, sliort, divergent frontal foveae. Prothorax trans- 

 verse (about 2*0 nun. wiile), sliiny, moderately and uni- 

 forinlj convex, except that the sides are rather flattened, 

 especially near hind angles ; base slightly bi^inuate at sides, 

 wider than aj)ex, front margin truncate, angles rounded, 

 inconspicuous; sides moderately rounded, hind angles obtuse 

 but not much rounded, all nuir>;ins bordeied, except that the 

 border is obsolete over the midille third o£ front nuir<iin and 

 between the basal sulci ; median line faint, basal sulci narrow 

 but well marked, punctate, as is the flattened area at sides. 



Elytra ovate, shiny, about half as long again as wide, 

 shoulders rounded (Init the basal boriler is bent a little 

 forward towards them), mo lerately striate, intervals nearly 

 flat, a little more convex towards apex. Prosternal process 

 bordered in frojit, but not at extremit}' ; mesepisterua and 

 metasternum smooth. 



The species is a little more elongate than the genotype, the 

 thoracic border interrupted in front, but extending over the 

 sides of the base, basal sulci wider and deeper, sides punctate 

 near hind angles, shoulders of elytra loss rounded, intervals 

 flatter, testaceous pattern evidently didering.
