scutellum, very acute and much diverging, thickly punctured 

 at the base, all the apical portion longitudinally finely ruga- 

 lose and punctured. The metathoracic parapleura shining, 

 the punctuation very distinct and moderately close, not at all 

 crowded. The abdomen is shining, finely punctured, the 

 punctuation only moderately close, the middle and margins of 

 the segments smoother. The pygidium and propygidium 

 cyaneous, closely punctured, the margin of the propygidium 

 smooth. Claws pitchy. 



One of the examples has the posterior angles of the thorax 

 and the base of the elytra pitchy brown.

Head in front closely and distinctly punctured, the forehead 

 less closely and more finely punctured, with a short smooth 

 central line ; the vertex moderately elevated, obtusely rounded,

 narrowed from the base to the front, the sides slightly flexu- 

 ous ; the posterior angles a little less than right angles, not 

 projecting. The base impressed on each side of the middle 

 lobe ; the lobe itself longitudinally raised, the apex very acute 

 and slightly turned up. Elytra very acute at the apex and 

 much diverging, the disk with a broad, shallow, longitudinal
