Shining black. Head oblong, very smooth with an impression 

 on each side, mouth, palpi and base of the antennae pitchy, the 

 apical joints of the latter fuscous. Tliorcue widest in front a little 

 below the anterior angles and much rounded in that part, then 

 obliquely sloped and narrowed till just before the posterior angle, 

 when it forms with the base a right angle with the apex a little 

 acute and prominent, disk convex, the central line met in front 

 by a deeper impression, the base with two deep foveae. Elytra 

 broad, dilated behind the middle, the apex obliquely sinuated 

 and produced, deeply and regularly striated, the stride very ob- 

 soletely punctured, interstices elevated, the third with three 

 distinct remote impressions ; legs brownish. Length 4J-5 lines. 



The name given to this species by Scopoli is restored in right 

 of priority.
