 base is broadly rounded in the middle and not margined. 

 The scutellum is smooth and sharply pointed. The elytra 

 are coai'sely and deeply striate-punctate. The pygidium is 

 coarsely rugose and bears a few long hairs near the apex. 

 'J'he metasternum is rugose and thinly pubescent, and the 

 abdomen is coarsely punctured. The mesosternum forms a 

 broad, compressed, slightly prominent lamina. The front 

 tibiae are strongly bidentate, and the larger claw of the front 

 and middle fett is cleft. 



The male is smaller, its elytra less broad, the prothorax 

 less contracted anteriorly ; the tibite and tarsi are dark green,
