rows of separate rounded tubercles, which do not increase in size 

 towards apex ; the rows on intervals 2, 4, and 6 are often more 

 or less incomplete, especially towards base ; tubercles bare, with 

 short depressed dark setse ; scaling veiy sparse and minute. Legs 

 with scattered short pale setpe ; posterior tai-si with the three joints 

 subequal in length, the third rather broader than the other two.

Long. 13, lat. 5| mm. 



Head convex, closely and distinctly punctured throughout ; 

 foi-ehead with a broad and deep central impression continued on 

 to base of rostrum ; anteocular furrows rather shallow, obsolete 

 in lower half. Rostrum not clorsally incised at base, as long as 

 prothorax only, scarcely curved. Upper surface with a deep but 

 narrow central furrow, the adjoining costse closely punctured, 

 broad and somewhat flattened ; lateral sulci deep and distinct, the 

 lower subtriangular, the upper pair nari'ow and uniting at base ; 

 sci'obes slightly curved, latei-al, though approaching rather to the 

 subrostral type ; infei-ior basal fuiTOw absent. Antennm with 

 scape just reaching eye ; second joint of funicle a little longer 

 than first. Prothorax rather transverse, apex equal to base, sides 

 slightly rounded, broadest about middle, dorsal anterior margin 

 truncate, ocular lobes feeble. Upper surface almost plane, closely 

 set with small low tubercles, leaving a narrow central furrow 

 containing a faint carina ; tubercles with very shoit pale depressed 

 setce. Elytra oblongo-ov^ate, shoulders prominent, sides scarcely 

 rounded, broadest about middle, apical processes very small and 

 contiguous. Upper surface rather convex, with shallow sulci 

 containing rows of granules ; in the sulci near the suture these 

 granules often unite with the intervals so as to form subreticulate 

 fovese ; intervals all with single rows of small low elongate 

 tubercles, becoming rather smaller towards apex ; tubercles bare, 

 with very shoi't, pale, depressed seta3 ; scaling veiy small and 

 scattered. Legs with sparse pale sette ; posterior tarsi with the 

 joints subequal in length, the third a little broader than the 

 others.

Type in the Stockholm Museum. 



Nearly allied to granatus Gyl., though having rather a different 

 aspect, owing to its smaller size, narrower build, and smaller and 

 closer tuberculation. Moreover the costa between the lateral 

 sulci on the rostrum is continued quite straight up the forehead, 

 whereas in granatus it is distinctly sinuate before the eye ; and 

 the scrobes are lateral instead of distinctly subrostral.
