robust, three-fourths the length of the body. Thorax 

 about a third broader than long ; sides rounded, slightly

 and distantly punctured). Elytra much broader than 

 the thorax, ovate, truncate at the base, the sides parallel, 

 attenuated towards the apex ; above convex, the humeral 

 callus distinct; finely punctured, the punctures piceous.

 bus tibiisque posticis piceo-fulvis ; thorace Isevi, ad latera

Head wedge-shaped ; vertex impunctate; encarpse well-

 than the third, the following joints each equal in length 

 to the fourth, the eleventh rather longer. Thorax about 

 a third broader than long ; sides diverging from the base 

 to the middle, thence straight to the anterior angle, the 

 latter thickened, very obliquely truncate ; above trans- 

 versely convex, shining, a few fine punctures visible at
