L. 2^ mill. 



Cylindrical, somewhat elongate, faintly coppery, clearly 

 but not very closely punctured above ; tlie head sometimes 

 has a small fovea on its vertex which may be sexual ; the 

 thorax, the lateral stria continues behind the head; the 

 elytra are impressed transversely behind the anterior angles ; 

 the pygidium is slightly convex and with tlie propygidium is 

 clearly punctulate like the upper surface ; the sterna are 

 microscopically strigose, with punctures evenly and not 

 closely set; the prosternal keel is arched at the base and 

 anteriorly the marginal rim is very narrow ; the mesosternum 

 is obtusely produced anteriorly and the marginal stria is 

 apparently complete but irregular, owing to the interposition 

 of punctures ; the meta.sternum has a well-marked lateral 

 stria which turns outwards from the anterior edge ; the legs
