 narum fossa tringulari obtecta atque segment© tertio longiore crassioreque, 

 metasterno inter coxas medias et posticas brevissimo distinguenda. 



Proboscis more than one-half broader than long, truncate, its apical 

 margin very slightly incurved; dorsal margin of antennal groove cariniform, 

 somewhat elevate, concealing the groove in dorsal aspect. Eye lateral, sub- 

 truncate in front, not sinuate, the interspace between it and the antennal groove 

 about as wide as the second segment of the antenna is broad near apex. 

 Antenna reaching to basal margin of elytra, rather thick, segment 2 claviform, 

 3 to 8 conical, 3 one-half longer than 2 and a little longer than 4, 5 to 8 very 

 slightly shorter and thicker than 4, 8 about twice as long as broad, club dis-

 straight in middle, then evenly curved forward, but soon disappearing, the 

 sides of the pronotum cariniform to beyond middle, but not to apex; no lateral 

 longitudinal carinula behind the dorsal carina. 



Elytra truncate at base, cylindrical, but short and almost gradually roun- 

 ded from base to apex, neither with sutural depression nor with subbasal 

 swelling, basal margin elevate, the rows of punctures almost restricted to basal 

 half. Pygidium semicircular.
