Head coarsely but not very closely pimctured, vertex 

 and fi'ont rugulose ; clypeus Avedge-sliaped, its apical 

 margin obsolete, its anterior margin concave-emarginate, 

 edged with black, cheeks and jaws also black ; four lower 

 joints of antenufe, together with the palpi, falvoiis. 

 Thorax twice as broad as long ; sides angulate a short

 apex, all the angles furnished with an obtuse tubercle ; 

 disk moderately convex, subremotely punctured ; anterior 

 margin thickened, smooth and shining, bordered within by 

 a single row of punctm-es. Scutellum wedge-shaped, its 

 apex obtusely angulate. Elytra much broader at the base 

 than the thorax ; sides converging from the base towards 

 the apex, the latter rounded ; above very convex, exca- 

 vated below the basilar space, the latter thickened, the 

 humeral callus very prominent ; surface punctate-striate, 

 the punctures much finer towards the apex; interspaces 

 smooth, impunctate. Thighs each armed beneath with a
