 distinctly punctured. Penultimate joint and claAv of the 

 four anterior tarsi obscure piceous.

 three times as broad as long ; sides somewhat broadly 

 rounded, slightly converging in front; anterior angles pro- 

 duced, thickened, obtuse, hinder ones produced laterally 

 into an acute tooth ; upper surface finely but distantly
