clothed with suberect griseoiis hairs, coarsely and much more 

 closely punctured than the thorax ; slightly excavated and ir- 

 regularly and transversely wrinkled below the basilar space.

 in its shorter and more coarsely punctured thorax, and in the 

 absence of the smooth longitudinal space on the vertex and 

 front, present in both the other species.
