The clypeus is separated from the front by a transverse furrow 
and the latter bears a short longitudinal channel anteriorly. The 
prothorax is rather small in proportion to the elytra ; its width 
is rather more than half again its length ; sides gently rounded ; 
all the angles acute, the anterior unusually produced in a forward 
and outward direction, the base not much more than a fifth wider 
than the front. The striae on the elytra are scarcely impressed 
but bear strong and rather clo.se punctures, both striae and 
punctures being nearly effaced in the hinder half ; the interstices 
are rather sparingly but very distinctly punctured. The tooth on 
the underside of the hind femora is not much more than an 
angulation of the outline a little before the apex.

in the extreme front) to about the middle where the green
