Owing to the reflexed front margin of the clypeus being gradu- 
ally elevated from the sides to the middle and a little turned 
back, the front of the clypeus though in reality almost squarely 
truncate appears (if looked at from in front of it) to be strongly 
emarginate. The prothorax is scarcely narrower at its widest 
than the widest part of the elytra. A female example is unfor- 
tunately in extremely bad condition having evidently been found 
dead after long exposure to the elements. Its sculpture is much 
worn away and its front tibiz are broken, but I can see that it 
has been almost identical with the male except in the prothoracic 
excavations much shallower, their tubercles very slight and the 
usual sexual differences in the ventral segments. Its form is 
somewhat narrower and more strongly convex than that of the 
male. The part of the apical ventral segment in front of the 
sinuous furrow is closely and rugulosely but not coarsely 
punctulate, the rest of the segment nitid and almost without 
punctures. Similar sculpture exists on the corresponding 
segment in the male, but the furrow is so faint and so near the 
front margin of the segment that the sculpture needs careful 
looking for. In this species the puncturation of the prothorax is 
distinctly sparse ; if it be carefully examined it will be seen that 
the intervals between puncture and puncture (except near the 
front angles) are for the most part quite equal to twice the 
diameter of an individual puncture.
