siibequal. Prothorax broader than long, apex about as wide 

 as basBj sides very strongly dilated (owing to several large 

 lateral tubereles), broadest before middle, ocular lobes strongly 

 developed. Upper surface convex, with comparatively large 

 elevated tubercles bearing depressed setse and leaving a deep 

 central furrow, containing a strong carina; interstices with 

 fulvous scaling. Elytra ovate, slioulders roundedly promi- 

 nent, sides slightly rounded, broadest about middle, apical 

 processes short and blunt. Upper surface convex, with 

 regular rows of foveas separated by small granules : interval 

 1 with an indistinct row of granules vanishing behind middle; 

 interval 2 with only three to five prominent tubercles on 

 declivity; interval 3 with a row of seven or eight elevated 

 tubercles terminating abruptly just behind middle; intervals 

 4 and 6 smooth ; intervals 5 and 7 with regular and complete 

 rows of elevated tubercles ; scaling sparse, variegated brown 

 and fulvous. Legs with scattered scales and a denser pale ring

//eac? convex, with dense fulvous scaling on vertex; fore- 

 head bare, faintly punctured, and with a rounded central 

 depression ; anteocular furrows very deep. Rostrum not 

 incised at base, about as long as head and prothorax, stout 

 and slightly curved. Upper surface convex in basal half, 

 almost plane anteriorly, without any central furrow or carina j

 central line ; lower lateral sulci faint, the upper ones much 

 longer and deeper, meeting at base; scrobes directed to 

 beneath base of rostrum ; inferior basal furrow deep. An-

 funicle subequal. Prothorux about as long as broad, base 

 and apex of equal width, sides strongly rounded, broadest 

 rather before middle, ocular lobes well developed. Upper
