but a little elongate ; the ninth to eleventii subequal, forming 

 an elongate, slender, loose club. Eyes a little prominent, 

 sliglitly ovate. Thorax nearly semicircular, truncate in front 

 for the widtli of the head ; the basal ridge very slight, scarcclv 

 separated from the posterior margin, only visible near the 

 shoulders. ►Scutellum miimte. Elytra at the base scarcely 

 as broad as the thorax, but a little more than twice as long, 

 gradually narrowed towards the apex, which is rounded, 

 ]mnctate-striate. Tibiai cylindrical, not widened at the apex ; 

 the anterior pair rather h^ng and curved beyond the middle, 

 minutely denticulate l»eneatli the base. Tarsi moderately 

 broad, the basal joint a little elongate, the second transverse, 

 the thii-d short, bilobed ; claws with a distinct mesial tooth. 

 Body evenly convex, thickly clothed with pubescence. 



Closely allied to Artvocon/nus, but, besides the difference 

 of form, differs in having slightly narrower tarsi and the 

 tibiffi not widened at the apex.

The pubescence on the elytra is slightly interrupted by the 

 rows of punctures, which gives them a striped appearance.
