 minute punctures, the clypeus bounded laterally by a distinct 

 ridge, running upwards to the middle of the eyes, the anterior 

 edge of the clypeus deeply emarginate, the labrum and palpi 

 fulvous, antennae with the apical joints distinctly thickened, the 

 lower fine joints fulvous, the others black ; thorax more than 

 twice as broad as long, the sides nearly straight scarcely nar- 

 rowed in front, the anterior portion deilexed, the surface remo- 

 tely but evenly impressed with small, somewhat oblong punc- 

 tures which are more distinct at the disc than at the sides , 

 posterior margin slightly rounded and produced at the middle; 

 elytra narrowed towards the apex , the shoulders rather pro- 

 minent, strongly punctate-striate , the punctures distinct nearly 

 to the apex, the last row at the sides however shortened below

Ruby Mines, Birmah (collection Jacoby). 



The nearly straight sides of the thorax and the rather remote 

 punctuation, in connection with the pointed shape and the ful- 

 vous legs separates this species from its congeners.
