of prothorax smooth and hairless in front, punctured and very hairy further 

 back, often rugose behind the coxae. Scutellum traversed by a pair of broad and 

 closely apposed hairy and finely punctured bands which are sometimes fused in the 

 middle line ; mesothoracic episterna coarsely punctured above and in front, more finely 

 in the posterior angles ^vhich are hairy ; a small smooth area between the two punc- 

 tured ones. Mesosternum often more or less dull and rugose, usually with a patch 

 of hair-bearing punctures in the lateral angles ; scars indistinct or absent. Metaster- 

 num with lateral areas very broad behind, but not in contact with central area ; 

 lateral and anterior intermediate areas hairy and rather finely punctured, posterior 

 intermediate and central areas smooth and hairless. Posterior parts of hind coxae 

 slightly roughened ; scars of abdominal sterna smooth or very nearly so. Elytra with 

 lateral grooves broader than dorsal ones, the punctures in the former forming rows of 

 short transverse grooves.
