A dull-brown, obscure-looking species, its most charac- 

 teristic features being the comparatively great width of its 

 prothorax in front (which gives the segment a subquadrate 

 appearance) and the close asperate and by no means fine 

 puncturation of its elytra. I think I have both sexes before 

 me, scarcely distinguishable except by the male being a little 

 smaller than the female and of narrower build.
