clothed and with shorter and more depressed pile; the depressed areas 
above and the greater portion of the under surface coated with a 
white powdery substance; antennae not reaching hind margin of pro- 
notum; front slightly sulcate and coarsely punctured; pronotum less 
than three-fourths as long as broad, side margins almost straight and 
parallel for posterior three-fourths then gradually rounded to apex, 
disc with a smooth median elevated longitudinal line extending from 
base to apex and broadest at middle, with a shallow and equally broad 
depression on either side, a secondary, punctured, and irregular ridge 
outwardly bounding these, the sulci and sides coarsely and cribrately 
punctured; elytra three times as long as pronotum and slightly broader 
at humeri, side margins almost straight and parallel for anterior two- 
thirds, thence suddenly narrowed and slightly sinuate to apex, the tips 
hardly prolonged, but slightly divergent, and truncate at apex, the disc 
with intervals 1-5 distinctly elevated, rounded, and continuous through- 
out greater portion, intervals 7 and 9 equally elevated but frequently 
and broadly interrupted, intervals 6, 8 and ro less evidently elevated and 
more interrupted, the more continuous intervals coarsely punctured at 
irregular distances, the striae finely punctate; the underside in front
