ing to the pronotal base, almost slender, last three joints forming a 

 feeble, parallel club; third joint not quite as long as the next two taken 

 together, joints four to eight longer than wide and obconical, joints 

 four to six increasing slightly in length, the fourth distinctly longer 

 than the fifth, joints seven and eight subequal in length, ninth and 

 tenth triangular, about as wide as long and slightly wider than the 

 preceding joints, eleventh short oval, scarcely longer than wide. 



Pronotum slightly transverse, a little more than one-third wider 

 than long; sides evenly arcuate m anterior four-fifths, more strongly 

 so just before the somewhat suddenly formed basal constriction at 

 basal fifth, here the sides are straight and parallel; apex a little wider 

 than the base and truncato-sinuate ; apical angles obtuse and scarcely 

 rounded; base quite truncate, and the angles distinctly rectangular; 

 disk evenly convex from side to side, not strongly so, rather finely 

 punctate, punctures evenly dispersed, separated by once or thrice their 

 diameters, slightly denser and feebly asperate laterally. 



Propleurae not rugose and sparsely punctate. 



Elytra oval, slightly oblong, less than twice as long as wide ; humeri 

 distinct, narrowly rounded, and not in the least prominent ; base trun- 

 cate ; sides more or less moderately arcuate : disk moderately convex, 

 rather strongly rounded laterally, inflexed sides feebly arcuate, pos- 

 teriorly arcuately declivous, punctures moderately coarse and strong, 

 rather closely placed and more or less serial in arrangement, series 

 rather closely placed, strial punctures scarcely coarser than those of 

 the intervals and separated by about their own diameters, intervals 

 sparsely punctate, all the punctures becoming more irregular and con- 

 fused laterally, the strial series almost distinct to the lateral declivity; 

 surface scarcely asperate, setae not visible. 



Paraplciira moderately coarsely and densely punctate. 



Sterna rather densely and not coarsely punctate. Presternum not 

 mucronate. 



Abdomen shining and not coarsely nor densely sculptured, slightly 

 rugulose. 



Legs moderate in length and stoutness. 



$ . — Oblong-oval, slightly narrowed anteriorly, sides of elytra less 

 arcuate, body narrower ; abdomen less convex and feebly oblique to 

 the sterna. Protarsi with yellow pads on the first three joints, pads 

 dense and convex on joints one and two, pad transverse and com- 

 posed of straight golden spinules at apex of joint three; on the fourth 

 joint the spinules are lateral and the plantar groove is open. Meso- 

 tarsi with a small pad at apex of first joint. 



$ . — Ovate, elytra broader. Abdomen horizontal and more strongly 

 convex. Tarsi without pubescent pads beneath.
