rest of the head. The prothorax is less than half again as wide 
as its length down the middle, the base about twice as wide as 
the front, which is strongly emarginate with sharp angles ; the 
sides diverge somewhat arcuately from the front to the base, with 
which they seem, viewed from above, to form nearly right angles 
(the true marginal angles being seen from the side to be rounded 
off) ; the base is scarcely bisinuate, and is widely and moderately 
produced backward in the middle. The transverse wrinkling of 
the elytra is strong and coarse, their lateral fringe not continued 
round the apex, which has a scarcely defined membranous border. 
On the underside the puncturation is strong and close on the 
metasternum and hind coxse, not close (especially in the middle) 
but rather strong on the ventral segments, the hairs in the ventral 
rows rather fine and more or less continuous all across. The hind 
coxfe are not much shorter than the metasternum, the hind femora 
are decidedly wider than the intermediate, with their inner apex 
I’ounded and only very widely and feebly prominent. The speci- 
men before me is evidently abraded, but its upper surface bears 
a few long hairs, which are probably much more numerous in a 
fresh specimen

The clyi^eus is evenly margined in front, with its anterior 
border gently and roundly emarginate, its surface continuous 
with the rest of the head ; the clypeal suture veiy fine and 
obscure. The prothorax is almost twice as wide as long down 
the middle, and the base is about half again as wide as the front, 
which is slightly emarginate, with angles very little produced ;
