Oblong, parallel at the sides, black and shining; the head, 

 mandibles not dentate, frontal stria short and scarcely visible ; 

 the thorax, marginal stria widely interrupted behind the 

 head, the lateral stria is not deeply impressed (like those of 

 the other species of the genus) and it is broken near the base ; 

 the elytra, stria;, outer humeral very short and near the 

 middle, inner humeral commences near the middle and 

 becomes punctiform near the apex, 1 dorsal punctiform and 

 apical and scarcely reaches the middle, 2-3 punctiform and 

 half the length of the first, 4 is represented only by two or 

 three pujictures, and the marginal stria is well marked and 

 ceases at the suture ; the pygidia are coarsely and densely 

 punctate ; the prosternum is not striate and the anterior lobe 

 is impunctate, with the marginal stria widely interrupted in 

 front ; the anterior femora are smooth. 



In its general outline this species resembles 1\ javaniis, 

 Er., except that it is rather more parallel laterally ; it is 

 remarkable for its simj)le mandibles and interrupted lateral 

 thoracic stria. Tiie anterior femora oi javnnus are trans- 

 versely rugose and the anterior prosternal lobe is punctured 

 and the marginal stria complete.
