 inserted in pits : colour dark brown. 



Head (without labrum) one-fifth shorter than the pronotum, and standing well 

 out from it. Relative lengths of joints of antennae as follows : — 6 : 28 : 24 : 24, 

 the third and fourth joints being of about the same thickness. The rostrum 

 when at rest extends to the middle of the anterior coxae. 



Pronotum at the apex not sinuate, almost truncate, and of equal width through- 

 out, the sides being slightly incurved ; anterior angles slightly produced but not 

 reaching half-way towards the eye ; posterior edge also truncate ; explanate 

 margin narrow, slightly reflexed and of the same width all round except at the 

 apical angle, where it is very slightly widened ; the marginal hairs of the pro- 

 notum differ in length, those at the anterior portion being slightly shorter than
