confuse disposltis; interspatiis ad latera et ad apicem 

 convexiusculis, minute et remote punctatis. 

 Long. 1^^ — 1| lin. Hah. — Madagascar. 



Vertex and front swollen, coarsely rugose, the latter 

 separated from the lower face by a deeply-grooved line; 

 clypeus large, pentangular, its aj)ex truncate, its surface 

 impressed with large round punctures; the anterior mar- 

 gin depressed, from the middle of the depression a nar- 

 row wedge-shaped longitudinal ramus extends upwards 

 on the disk for about a third of its length; antennae 

 half the length of the body, robust, the six outer joints 

 dark piceous. Thorax at the base nearly three times 

 as broad as long ; sides rounded and converging from base 

 to apex, the anterior angles slightly produced, subacute; 

 upper surface transversely convex, granulose, imj^ressed 

 with distinct round punctiu'es; the middle portion of the 

 basal margin, together with the whole of the apical one, 

 raised and flattened, shining, impunctate. Scutellum 

 twice as broad as long, broadly rounded. Elytra broader 

 than the thorax, their sides nearly parallel, their apices 

 regularly rounded; inflexed limb smooth and shining, 

 impressed on the inner edge by a single row of punctures.

 pentangular, broader than long, its apex broadly truncate, 

 sej^arated from the up]->er face by a broad, transverse 

 groove ; its surface granulose, the disk impunctate, the 

 sides coarsely punctured ; labrum excavated on either 

 side, the medial space longitudinally elevated ; antennaj
