 thorax one half broader than long, the lateral margins nearly 

 straight, the posterior one strongly rounded, the angles distinct 

 but not produced, the surface opaque, minutely granulate, im- 

 punctate, scutellum small, flavous; elytra subcylindrical, extre- 

 mely closely punctured with slight traces of longitudinal costae,
