Hah. Rangoon. 



Elongate, subcylindrical, glossy black ; rostrum scarcely 

 longer than the prothorax, the latter about as broad as long, 

 with granules varying in size and approximation ; scutellum 

 punctiform ; elytra gradually narrowing to the apex, with the 

 base depressed but conspicuously rising in the middle, striate- 

 punctate, punctures large, contiguous, interstices convex ; 

 femora and tibise stout and comparatively short, the former 

 with a well-marked tooth beneath. 



This species is differentiated by the conspicuously raised 

 middle of the elytra and, in a less degree, by its compara- 

 tively short stout femora and tibiae.
