three flavous spots — one, subtriangular, near the suture at 

 the base, one, strongly transverse, at the middle (reaching 

 tlie outer margin, but not extending to the suture), and one 

 rounded, near the suture before the apex ; densely, finely, 

 the sides of the prothorax and the elytra rugulosely, punctate, 

 the latter with intermixed slightly coarser punctures. Head 

 triangular, compressed at the sides anteriorly, the central 

 portion very narrow in front, hollowed in the middle between 

 the eyes, the latter prominent; antennse (fig. 12) moderately 

 long, joint 1 curved, broad, angularly dilated near the base 

 externally, 2 extremely large, oblong, irregularly excavate, 

 and furnished at the base with a long, movable, rather broad, 

 twisted appendage, 3-9 short. Prothorax convex, about as 

 long as broad, narrowed posteriorly, and with the sides 

 rounded anteriorly. Elytra moderately long, rounded at 

 the sides beyond the middle. Legs rather short, not very 

 slender ; anterior tarsal joint 2 with a black claw-like

(J . Elongate, narrow, rather convex, widened posteriori}',

 the apex, yellowish-white ; the entire surface densely, finely, 

 rugulosely punctate. Head triangular, flattened between 

 the eyes and convex in front, obsoletely canaliculate ; an- 

 tennae (fig. 13) long, joint 1 curved, moderately dilated, 

 angulate near the base externally, 2 extremely large, broad, 

 sublunate, deeply excavate within, and furnished with a long 

 narrow appendage near the base above, 3-10 slender, elon- 

 gate. Prothorax about as long as broad, narrowed and 

 slightly sinuate at the sides towards the base. Elytra mode-
