Vertex deeply punctured ; face between the eyes with a 

 transverse rufo-piceous patch ; encarpte subovate, oblique, 

 contiguous ; carina elevated, narrow, linear ; antennae 

 more than half the length of the body, filiform, not 

 distinctly thickened towards the apex ; five or six 

 loAver joints fulvous, the rest nigro-piceous. Thorax 

 rather more than half as broad again as long ; sides 

 straight and parallel, rounded and converging from the 

 middle to the apex, anterior angles thickened, obtuse ; 

 upper surface closely punctured, the interspaces between 

 the punctures very finely granulose. Elytra broader than 

 the thorax, oblong, their apices obtuse, not entirely cover- 

 ing the apex of the abdomen, the sutural angles rounded ; 

 surface closely punctured, the interspaces shining, im- 

 punctate ; each elytron with a flavous vitta, covering nearly 

 the whole surface, but placed closer to the lateral margin 

 than to the suture. Apex of pygidium acute.

Head trigonate, moderately exserted; vertex distinctly 

 but not closely punctured ; face raised between the insertion 

 of the antennas; encarpa; large, trigonate, contiguous; 

 carina linear, anteriorly biforcate; antennas rather more 

 than half the length of the body, slightly thickened towards 

 the apex, thi*ee loAver joints obscure piceous, the rest black ; 

 second, third and fourth nearly equal in length. Thorax 

 nearly twice as broad as long; sides slightly converging 

 from base to apex, slightly rounded, anterior angles 

 broadly and obliquely truncate, the hinder ones obtuse ;
