 third; four or five lower joints obscure fulvous, the rest piceous. 

 Thorax nearly twice as broad as long ; sides diA^erging at the 

 base, obtusely angled behind the middle, thence obliquely cou- 

 vei-ging and very slightly rounded to the apex ; disc transversely 

 convex, very coarsely and deeply punctured. Elytra oblong,
