Read subquadrate, anterior margin and sides near tlie 

 middle contracted, with a shallow, elongate depression near 

 base of each an.tenna ; and with dense, small, subrugose punc- 

 tures. Antennae about four-fifths the length of head, moder- 

 ately robust, second joint approximately twice the length of 

 the first, joints 4 to 8 little more than half the width of the 

 second, and not quite as long, the ninth wider than the 

 eighth, the tenth more than twice as wide as the ninth and 

 almost semicircular in shape, the apical longer than and 

 about three-quarters the width of the tenth, almost circular.

Prothorax about one and half times wider than head, the 

 anterior margin wider than the base, sides contracted near 

 the middle, the anterior angles acute, posterior ones rounded, 

 disk with a large, shallow, obovate depression, and divided 

 transversely with a more or less distinct raised portion; with 

 dense, subrugose punctures, larger and more distinct than 

 those on head. Scutellum very small and somewhat semi- 

 circular. Elytra at base slightly wider than prothorax, and 

 about three times as long, sides parallel to beyond the middle, 

 and evenly rounded towards apex; with closely placed seriate 

 punctures, larger than those on prothorax. Legs robust, first 

 two joints of tarsi dilated. Length, 3'5-4*5 mm.

A very distinct species, and easily distinguished by its 

 markings. The fulvous part on the prothorax is widest in 

 front, sometimes disappearing before base, and on each elytron 

 is in the form of a crescent, the convex side reaching a little 

 more than half-way across, between the margin and the 

 suture; this crescent-shaped part varies somewhat in size on
