 larger and lateral, extending from the apical nearly to the basal 

 margin. Scutellum distinctly and minutely punctured. Elytra much 

 broader than the thorax, scarcely three times its length, above very 

 convex, transversely grooved below the basilar space ; surface somewhat 

 closely covered with deep punctures, which are arranged in irregular 

 striae ; each elytron with two patches at the base, — the first oblong, near
