Head broad, with the eyes widely separated above; from 

 the narrow transverse excavation at the base a very distinct 

 median f2;roove passes uj)wards for a short distance on the 

 front, and is thence continued backwards as a narrower and 

 less distinct impression. The punctures are less thickly 

 placed on the front of the head, but are closely crowded and 

 confluent on the sides and hinder part, so that the interspaces 

 appear as small shining granules. The pronotuni is slightly 

 eniarginate in front ; its lateral edges are but slightly promi- 

 nent as feeble carinaa, which are strongly deflexed towards 

 the middle of their length ; the central area of the disk is 

 very glossy and but sparsely punctured, and bears a short 

 median groove and two foveas placed posteriorly one on each 

 side ; towards the sides the pronotum is somewhat uneven 

 and is strongly and rather thickly punctured, while close ta 

 the anterior angles it is very closely but less strongly punc- 

 tured, as is the whole surface of the prosternum. The elytra 

 are rather thickly punctured and slightly coriaceous, except
