Head with scattered distinct punctures, with a wide 

 wrinkled fovea on each side in front; clypeus with irregular 

 wrinkles and punctures: labrum almost as long as wide with 

 conspicuous punctures. Antennae passing scutellum for a 

 slight distance, third joint longer than second or fourth. 

 Prothorax not quite as long down middle as the greatest 

 width, front angles rounded and slightly produced, sides 

 obliquely upcurved and widest slightly in advance of the 

 middle ; hind angles slightly acute and somewhat rounded 

 off, with a narrowly impressed median line, terminating near 

 apex and near base in fairly large fovege; with conspicuous 

 scattered punctures, denser about sides and base than else- 

 where. Elytra elliptic-ovate; surface finely shagreened, with 

 rows of rather small punctures in narrow striae; interstices 

 much wider than striae, the fifth on each elytron conspicuously 

 elevated and marking off the rapidly sloping (almost vertical) 

 sides from the slightly concave median portion, on posterior 

 declivity bifurcated and not conspicuously elevated ; each 

 interstice with an irregular row (or with parts of two irregular 

 rows) of small punctures, but larger on sides than elsewhere.
