pair uniting at base ; scrobes deep, lateral and oblique ; inferior 

 basal furrow very deep. Antennce with scape not quite reaching 

 eye ; the two basal joints of funicle subequal. Prothorax sub- 

 globose, ti'ansverse, apex almost broader than base, sides very 

 strongly rounded, broadest about middle, dorsal anterior margin 

 concave, ocular lobes well developed. Upper surface convex, 

 fairly closely set with low I'ounded tubercles, leaving a distinct 

 central furrow containing an abbreviated carina ; apices of 

 tubercles bare and with depressed pale seta?, the interstices with 

 dense brown scaling. Elytra oblongo-ovate, subquadrate in 5 , 

 much narrower in 6 , posterior declivity veiy steep, shoulders 

 roundedly prominent, sides slightly rounded, broadest at middle, 

 apical processes absent in S , obsolescent in 5 . Upper surface 

 convex, with regular rows of dee]?, subieticulate f oveae ; the in- 

 tervals very narrow, 3, 5, and 7 strongly cai'inate and with rows 

 of minute depressed granules, the former terminating at the top 

 of the declivity with a sharply prominent tubercle ; interval 2 

 with only a short apical row of small tubercles and a juuch larger 

 one at the top of the declivity, behind that on interval 3 ; in- 

 terval 1 Avith a row of depressed pale setse ; 4 and 6 with at most 

 one or two isolated granules ; granules bare at apex and with 

 very short depressed pale set?e, the interspaces with dense uniform 

 brown scaling. Legs with similar scaling ; jjosterior tarsi shorty 

 the three joints siibequal in length and breadth.

Head convex on vertex, forehead flattened and with a deep 

 impression on each side, punctviation close and regular, but mostly 

 hidden b}^ fulvous scaling ; anteociilar furrows deep, convergent 

 above and only separated by a narrow costa. Rostrum not in- 

 cised at base, nearly as long as head and prothorax, slightly curved 

 and moderately dilated near apex. Upper sui'face with a broad 

 and distinct central furrow throughout, with its edges caiinate 

 and bearing a regular row of depressed paler sette, the punctua- 

 tion hidden by uniform dense brown scaling ; lateral sulci broad 

 and deep, subequal, the upper pair meeting at base, which is 

 much raised above the level of foi^ehead ; scrobes deep, sublateral ; 

 inferior basal fuirow deep. Antennoi with scape not reaching 

 eye ; joints 1 and 2 of funicle subequal. Prothorax a trifle broader 

 than long, apex and base of equal width, sides strongly rounded, 

 broadest before middle, dorsal anterior margin truncate, ocular 

 lobes well developed. Upper surface convex, with small rounded 

 widely separated tubercles, leaving a broad but shallow central 

 f uri'ow containing a distinct carina ; tubercles bare, with depressed
