  sub-parallel 
  from

  slightly 
  ampliate 
  

   part 
  to 
  the

   deeply 
  punctato-striate 
  with 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  intervals 
  faintly 
  costulate 
  

   and 
  the 
  broad 
  interval

  the 
  first 
  and 
  the 
  second 
  stria 
  filled 
  

   with 
  irregular 
  shallow 
  punctures 
  giving 
  it 
  a 
  coriaceous 
  appearance, 
  

   the 
  punctures 
  are

  not 
  

   on

   Plate 
  XLL,

  30. 
  

  

  Pale 
  testaceous, 
  shining, 
  hind 
  tibiae 
  and 
  tarsi 
  darker 
  ; 
  head 
  finely 
  

   yet 
  deeply 
  and 
  closely 
  punctured 
  especially 
  in 
  the 
  anterior 
  part, 
  

   clypeus 
  sub-truncate 
  in 
  front 
  but 
  broadly 
  rounded 
  laterally, 
  the 
  

   margin 
  is 
  reflexed 
  and 
  the 
  punctuation 
  is 
  similar 
  to 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  

   anterior 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  head 
  ; 
  prothorax 
  slightly 
  sinuate 
  laterally 
  between 
  

   the 
  median 
  part 
  which 
  is 
  not 
  ampliate 
  and 
  the 
  basal 
  angle 
  where 
  

   it 
  is 
  slightly 
  broader 
  than 
  across 
  the 
  median 
  part, 
  very 
  finely 
  

   aciculate, 
  but 
  the 
  aciculation 
  is 
  hardly 
  distinct 
  in 
  the 
  centre 
  of 
  the 
  

   disk 
  where 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  faint 
  impressed 
  median 
  line 
  obliterated 
  occa- 
  

   sionally 
  ; 
  scutellum 
  with 
  a 
  few 
  small 
  lateral 
  and 
  basal 
  punctures 
  ; 
  

   elytra 
  regularly 
  punctato-striate, 
  the 
  punctures 
  are 
  moderately 
  deep 
  

   and 
  the 
  four 
  raised 
  intervals 
  distinct, 
  the 
  punctures 
  are 
  obliterated 
  

   near 
  the 
  humeral 
  and 
  apical 
  callus, 
  and 
  those 
  between 
  the 
  first 
  and 
  

   second 
  punctate 
  striae 
  are 
  shallow 
  but 
  not 
  very 
  rugose 
  ; 
  the 
  shape 
  is 
  

   similar 
  to 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  two 
  preceding 
  species 
  ; 
  pygidium 
  very 
  closely
