convex, the forehead thinly pubescent and without green 

 scaling. Rostrum much longer than its width at the base, 

 almost parallel-sided in the basal half, and strongly dilated 

 anteriorly, the basal area broadly and rather deeply ioi- 

 pressed, the median part of the subnienium elevated into a 

 sharp conical process with tlie })oint directed backwards. 

 Antenna with the scape gently curved and. gradually thick- 

 ened ; the fimiclc with joint 2 longer than 1, and 3 to 7 

 longer than broad. Prothoi'ax witli the sides subparallel 

 in tlie basal half and narrowed in front, the dorsal anterior 

 edge very slightly roa\uled, the ocular lobes strongly pro- 

 duced ; the upper surface with close confluent puiictation 

 which is not very distinct through the scaling, with a faint 

 transverse impression before the middle and a deeper 

 rounded impression on each side behind. Elytra with rows 

 of large fovese, the intervals very narrow and irregular; in 

 the vicinity of tiie suture the spaces between the fovese are 

 slightly raised, so that the surface appears transversely 

 rugose ; the sette extremely short, dense, and suberect.
