and a supra-basal transverse patch spreading on each side in a Une 

 with the base of the fifth stria ; this smooth patch does not reach 

 quite the basal margin in the middle ; elytra plane with the suture 

 very little gibbose at middle, nearly parallel, not quite as shining as 

 the prothorax, except the suture itself, very narrowly, but deeply 

 striate, intervals very finely aciculate, and having two rows of fine 

 punctures, third and fifth a little more raised than the others, outer 

 margin bi-carinate, the two carinse closely set ; pygidium granulose ; 

 intermediate and posterior legs fringed with moderately long fulvous 

 hairs ; anterior femora with a small, but distinct tooth at the apex of 

 the lower edge of the groove, anterior tibise strongly and sharply 

 tri- dentate and having an obsolete l^asal tooth, the second and third 

 outer teeth have a smaller tooth at base, the inner part is sharply 

 carinate, and emarginate behind with the two ends of the emargina- 

 tion distinctly dentate; metathorax with a short, shallow, and narrow 

 groove ending in a small impression between the median coxae, and 

 a very fine line uniting the median impression with a similar apical 

 one, sides very closely granulose, median part punctulate ; pectus 

 and coxge partly clothed with long, fulvous hairs. 



Length 36-42 mm. ; width 20-26 mm.

Black, sub- opaque, suture shining ; head deeply and closely punc- 

 tured, the punctures more elongated towards the edge of the clypeus 

 than in the central part where there is a very short but distinct 

 tubercle, teeth of clypeus moderately long, and not very sharp ; 

 prothorax convex, very distinctly serrate laterally and fringed with 

 black hairs, basal margin grooved, the groove with a series of small 

 setiferous punctures, upper part covered with very closely set 

 granules except near the base where there is a denuded broadly 

 triangular space the sides of which reach to a little distance from 

 the outer angle, and the apex not quite to the median part ; at a short 

 distance from the base there is a faint trace of a fine longitudinal 

 line with a small impression on each side of it; elytra sub-parallel, 

 gibbose at middle along the suture, finely striate, intervals extremely 

 finely aciculate and with a double series of fine punctures ; there are 

 two supra-marginal carinae ; pygidium punctato-granulate ; legs 

 fringed with dark or black hairs, anterior tibiae with three valid outer 

 teeth and a smaller basal one, foveolate on the outer upper side and
