 or crural modifications. 



Although the hind coxae are very narrowly separated, this 

 species diflTers very greatly from the others of the present sub- 

 genus in its long and erect el3'tral vestiture, antennal structure, 

 pronotal impressions, punctate elj'tra, tarsal structure and many 

 other characters.

 black, the elytra dark piceo-rufous ; legs dusky ; antennge black, 

 dark rufous toward base ; head and elyti'a glabrous, the prothorax 

 abundantly clothed with stiff erect setse. Head orbicular, nearly 

 as long as wide, the eyes rather well developed and very slighth'" 

 prominent ; occiput with a setigerous puncture at each side ; 

 front with a similar puncture near each antennal cavity, not in the 

 least impressed ; clypeus evenly declivous, the apex broadlj^ 

 feebly sinuate throughout the width in circular arc ; labrum 

 thickly setose. Antennae long and slender, |- as long as the body, 

 the 3-jointed club well differentiated and elongate; second joint 

 as long as the first, slightly thinner, cjdindric, twice as long as 

 wide, thicker but much shorter than the next two ; thi'ee to six 

 equal in width, feebh^ obconic, f, ^, f and ^ longer than wide re- 

 spectively ; seventh feebly obconic, with arcuate sides, fully as 

 long as the fifth and \ thicker, |- longer than wide ; eighth \ 

 thicker than the seventh, obsuboval, nearly ^ longer than wide ; 

 ninth much longer than any of the pi'eceding, oval, narrowed 

 toward base, \ wider than the eighth, nearly ^ longer than wide ; 

 tenth not thicker, elliptical, very slightly elongate ; eleventh not 

 thicker, gradually and conically pointed, scarcely ^ longer than 

 the tenth. Prothorax fully as long as wide and onlj'^ just visibl}^ 

 wider than the head, parallel, broadly rounded at the sides an- 

 teriorly, broadly sinuate toward base ; surface with two large 

 fovese at each side near the base, the two inner larger and trans- 

 versely connected by a feeble impression. Elytra subrhomboidal, 

 |- longer than wide, more than twice as long as the prothorax and 

 f wider, widest and strongly rounded only slightly before the 

 middle, the sides thence strongly oblique to the narrowly rounded 

 apex; humeral plica and subhumeral impression obsolete ; basal 

 fovese distinct and deep ; subsutural impressions wanting, the
