Head strongly convex ; prothorax not wider than down the 
middle long, its base and apex equal (the former bisinuate with the 
middle rather strongly angulated), its sides somewhat rounded and 
furnished behind the middle with a strong sharp projection the 
apex of which is scarcely bent hindward, its surface very convex 
and coarsely but not closely rugulose ; elytra with their humeral 
spines strong, sharp and bent, the four costae (i.e., two on each 
elytron moderately strong and serrate rather than tuberculate, the 
inner pair meeting on the suture about two-thirds of its length from 
the base, the external pair meeting on the suture close to the 
apex, the space between the inner j>air much flattened, the whole 
surface of the insect covered with rough dirty-looking Vjrown 
scales mingled (especially along the cost«) with blackish scales 
and thinly sprinkled with rather long erect black hairs.

M. Lacordaire [Gen. Col. IX. (2) p. 541] questions the generic
