but the hind tibise are broadly subprominent within at apical 

 third, the prominence rendered more conspicuous by a brush of 

 stiff hairs ; last two segments of the abdomen together not longer 

 than the preceding three, the sixth moderate in size, circular at 

 tip, with the surface only feeblj^ convex and not distinctly modi- 

 fied. 



This species may be readily distinguished from suhpunctatus 

 \)j the two separated foveiform impressions of the head, smaller 

 size and more conspicuous el3^tral pubescence.

Moderately stout and ventricose, highly polished, subimpunc- 

 tate, pale rufo-testaceous throughout ; pubescence rather sparse, 

 scarcely distinct anteriorly, longer suberect and recurved on the 

 elytra. Head slightly wider than long, the eyes large and very 

 prominent, nearly at the base, the tempora very short and con- 

 vergent behind them ; impression of the vertex large and deep, 

 consisting of two large fovese feebly coalescent ; clypeus large. 

 Antennae almost half as long as the body, slender, gradually and 

 rather strongly incrassate toward tip ; second joint cjlindric, a 

 little shorter and much narrower than the first, f longer than 

 wide, ^ longer than the third but much thicker; three to six just 

 visibl}^ increasing in thickness and becoming gradually more oval, 

 with prominent basal bead ; third rather more, the fourth a little 

 less, than |-, fifth -|, sixth ^, longer than wide ; seventh ^, eighth 

 I", thicker than the sixth, as long as wide and very slightly trans- 

 verse respectiveh'', both strongly conic at apex ; ninth and tenth 

 much larger, ^ and f wider than the eighth, feebly obtrapezoidal, 

 ^ and nearly ^ wider than long ; eleventh scarcelj'' as wide as the 

 tenth, ogival, not as long as the two preceding. Prothorax 

 nearly as long as wide, | wider than the head, almost angularly 

 prominent laterally in apical half, constricted at basal third ; sur- 

 face just visibly impressed transversely for a short distance in the 

 middle near the base but not foveate, the lateral fovea feeble and 

 indefinite. Scutellum distinct, triangular, rather wider than long. 

 Elytra elongate-oval, widest near basal -|, ^ longer than wide, al- 

 most three times as long as the prothorax and about twice as wide, 

 broadly rounded at the sides, the humeri strongly rounded and 

 somewhat visible at base ; subhumeral impression long, deep and 

 distinct, the humeral plica strong and elongate ; inner fovea 

 moderate ; subsutural impressions obvious, the suture feebly
