than in tlie last species (thus leaving a wider interstice between 

 it and the internal one) and readies from the base to the an- 

 terior angle. But in some specimens it is a little shortened at 

 the base. Scutellar fovea small. The elytral striae resemble those 

 of multidens three complete, fourth a little shortened v^ith an 

 appendage, but the 5*'' and suturai are of an equal length, apical 

 and reaching to the middle of the dorsum. All are a little crenulate. 

 The propygidium and pygidium have medium sized punctures 

 and they are not closely set. Presternum very obscurely striate 

 between the coxae; mesosternum very feebly and widely sinuous 

 in front (not emarginate) marginal stria fine, faintly crenulate 

 and it lies close to the anterior edge ; the dividing line of the 

 metasternum is fine, straight and clear and continues so down 

 the sides. The anterior tibiae are 6 or 7 dentate, the teeth 

 being at equal distances to each other, not crowded at the base 

 as in multidens.

A long series of this species shows that the bent rudiment 

 of a stria at the base of the elytra belongs to the fourth stria, 

 not to the fifth. In some examples the rudiment is joined to 

 the stria on one elytron only, in others on both, in the greatest 

 number it is detached as in the type specimen from Assam. The 

 frontal stria is semicircular.

Oval, rather convex, black shining; antennae and legs pitchy

 being a little produced in front of the stria, stria very distinct
