 The clypeus is shortly transverse, nearly straight in front 

 and very finely rugose, and the forehead is rather closely and 

 evenly punctured. The pronotum is very smooth and shining 

 and scarcely visibly punctured, with the front angles acute, 

 the hind angles very obtuse, and the sides angulate in the 

 middle and not visibly curved. The scutellum is very 

 minutely punctured, and each elytron bears five deep, equi- 

 distant, dorsal striae. The striae are finely punctured and 

 the interstices smooth and convex. The pygidium is convex 

 and rather coarsely transversely strigose. The mesosternal 

 process is moderately long and slender, not flattened. The 

 tibiae are stout and the two teeth of the front tibia short and 

 close together.
