any angle at all. The puncturation of the clypeus is tine, close, 
and rugose, that of the rest of the head smooth and a little less 
close and less fine ; the puncturation of the prothorax is still 
stronger and less close (but still neither sparse nor coarse), that of 
the elytra about as close as on the prothorax and decidedly 
coarser. The elytra are very little wrinkled transversely, and 
(except a faint trace behind of a sutural stria) have no trace of 
strife. The pygidium is channelled longitudinally in its apical 
half. The underside and legs closely resemble those of //. torvus, 
but differ in the puncturation of the hind body being more 
enfeebled down the middle portion, and the hind femora being 
almost impunctate on the inner portion of their surface, and 
having the inner apical angle much less defined. The ventral 
series consist of stout hairs rather than bristles.

The clypeus is widely and gently emarginate in front, with its 
reflexed margin (though continuous) much attenuated above the 
labrum ; it forms a continuous surface with the rest of the head, 
and tlie clypeal suture is barely traceable ; the puncturation is close, 
rough, and fine in the front of the clypeus, becoming gradually 
le.ss so hindward to tlie Vjack of the head. The prothorax is 
nearly twice as wide as its length down the middle, and at the 
base rather more tlian lialf again as wide as across the front, 
wliich is very deeply emarginate with sharp strongly ])roduced
