leviter divergentibus, occipite transverse impresso ; inotliorace 
latitudine vix longiore, tenue marginato, marginibus baud reflexis, 
antice trimcato, postice late sublobato, lateribus parallelis, basi 
rotundato, mai’ginato, linea transversa impresso, duobus punctis 
marginalibns utrinque nobato, leviter canal iculato; elytris elongatis, 
convexis, antice panlo angustatis, basi valde emarginato, humeris 
fortiter notatis erecte marginatis, apice obtuse mucronatis, sutura 
valde impressa, segmentis abdominalibus et coxis posticis rugulosis 
impunctatisque ; tihiis anticis extus bidentatis. 
Long. 25 ram., lat. 7 mm. 
Black, shining, the prothorax less nitid than the elytra. Head 
light, subquadrate (3| x 4|), narrowed behind the eyes ] two supra- 
orbital punctures ; frontal sulci converging towards clypeus from, 
behind the supra-orbital punctures, in front they appear to bifur- 
cate enclosing the frontal punctures. Pro thorax as long as wide 
(6J X 6^), truncate in front, parallel on the sides, rounded off at the 
posterior angles towards the base, which is widely sublobate and 
rounded ; the lateral margins narrow, not reflexed, that of 
the base more prominent ; median line very lightly impressed ; 
each lateral channel with two punctures. Elytra nearly twice as 
long as broad (13 x 7), cylindrical, rather wider towards the apex 
than at the shoulders, smooth, without discoidal punctures; suture 
deeply impressed ; the base strongly emarginate, with the humeral 
angles consi>icuous ; the lateral margins very narrow, thicker and 
erect at the shoulders ; a blunt projection at the apex. The legs 
rather light; the anterior tibim bidentate, with both the “exterior” 
and “ inferior ” ridges weak ; the apical puncture on the inner 
side of the anterior femora is wanting. The abdominal segments 
transversely wi’inkled, and without the usual punctures. The 
jiosterior coxte are without any im[)ressed punctures. This is the 
only case of a Carenid without posterior coxal punctux’es, that 
T have seen.

This is a very distinct form differing in the shape of its thorax 
and in its elytra, (which are very cylindrical, emaiginate at the
