 ceding. Frothorax conic, the sides nearly straight, ahout as long as wide ; 

 apex 14. as wide as the base, the latter % wider than the head ; surface per- 

 fectly even and convex. Elytra % longer than wide, more than twice as long 

 as the prothorax and f^ wider, acutely rounded at apex, widest near basal 

 third ; sides almost evenly arcuate ; humeral plica long, strong and consj^icu-

 extending by varying reflection through almost basal fourth ; inner fovea 

 strong, the outer obsolete ; subsutural impressions narrow and feeble, the 

 suture very feebly elevated basally, the bead not expanded at base. Legs

 Head well developed, wider than long, the eyes large and promi-

 tennal tubercles ; clypeus not modified, the apical margin even 

 and transversely rectilinear. Antennae a little longer than the 

 head and prothorax, rather stout, the club elongate, subparallel 

 and not very abrupt ; second joint obconic, ^ longer than wide, 

 not as long as the next two but thicker ; three to six equal in 

 width and cjdindric ; three, four and six equal, slightly longer 

 than wide ; fifth still longer, ^ longer than wide ; seventh ^ 

 thicker and more roughly sculptured, fully as long as wide ; 

 eighth nearly ^ wider than the seventh, almost as long as wide ;
