Long. 4J lin. 



Head sub-rotundate, vertex and front deeply and coarsely foveolate-punctate, impressed 

 in the middle with a deep longitudinal groove, which extends downwards between the en- 

 carpge as far as the apex of the clypeus, where it terminates in a triangular fovea ; encarp^e 

 thickened, trigonate, smooth, impunctate; clypeus very short, thickened and forming a 

 transverse ridge, its anterior border narrowly edged with rufous ; antennae robust, the second 

 joint ovate, rather more than half the length of the third, the third and fourth joints equal. 

 Thorax rather more than twice as broad as long ; sides sinuate and parallel from the base to 

 beyond the middle, thence obliquely converging to the apex, the anterior angles slightly pro- 

 duced, somewhat recurved, obtuse ; disc excavated on either side, the middle disc impressed 

 with a broad longitudinal sulcation which extends from base to apex ; the whole surface 

 covered with large, deep, round fovese. Scutellum semirotundate, piceous, impunctate.

Long. 5 lin. 



Head very coarsely rugose-punctate. Thorax nearly twice as broad as long ; sides parallel, 

 slightly sinuate, obtusely angled just before the middle, thence obliquely converging 

 to the apex, the anterior angle moderately produced, its apex rounded ; disc very coarsely 

 rugose-punctate, the middle portion with a longitudinal sulcation which extends from base to 

 apex, either side impressed with a large fovea. Scutellum coarsely rugose-punctate. Elytra 

 broader than the thorax, ovate, slightly dilated towards the apex, moderately convex, rugose- 

 punctate, but less coarsely so than the head and thorax ; black, sometimes tinged with
