L. 3 niiU. 



Oblong-oval, rather convex, })lack and shining; the hea I 

 stron<,'ly stiiute laterally and irregularly punctate ; the thorax 

 is inar;i;inate and punctate broadly at the sides and narrowly 

 sdong the scutellar edge, disk smooth ; the elytra, striae i-3 

 complete and somewhat sinuous in the middle, 4 bent towards 

 the suture at the base and punctiform at both its ends, a few 

 irregular points along tiie suture seem to represent a sutural 

 stria, on about one-third of the apical area there are sparse 

 and irregular punctures; the jn'gidia are clearly and rather 

 closely j)uncturel; the prosternuin is bistriate, striae widen 

 out before the coxae and do not join at either end, anteriorly 

 they are obliterated by punctures and posteriorly they are 

 evanescent, the anterior lobe is coarsely punctured and the 

 keel has a very tew irregular points; the mesosternum is 

 margined on all sides by an irreguhir crenate stria and late- 

 rally there are a few punctures, the area behind the emargina- 

 tion is smooth ; the inetasternuin has a few punctures near 

 the hind coxte; the anterior tibire are 6-7-denticulate and 

 are without a notable emargination on the outer edge. 



There is no other known Carcinops similar to this.
