 distinctly so on the outer margin, impunctate ; the one 

 next the suture impressed with large punctures, equal in 

 size to those on the striae.

 sat profunde punctato-striatis, striis sulcatis ; interspatiis

 I have named the species. 



Head small, rotundate, strongly punctured ; carina and 

 encarpse obsolete ; antennas slender, half the length of the 

 body, six lower joints obscure fulvous, the rest pale piceous. 

 Thorax twice as broad as long at the base ; sides rounded 

 and converging from base to apex, the hinder angles nearly 

 rectangular, acute, anterior ones thickened, obtuse ; above 

 convex, subcylindrical at the apex, surface strongly and 

 closely punctured, the punctures rather more distant on 

 the middle of the disk. Scutellum transverse, semi- 

 rotundate. Elytra ovate, attenuated towards the apex, 

 strongly and deeply punctate-striate ; interspaces convex, 

 costate on the sides and at the apex, interspace next the 

 suture closely impressed with punctures equal in size to 

 those of the strise; the other interspaces smooth, im- 

 punctate.

 obscure rufo-fulvis, his extrorsum piceis, femoribus posticis
