Dark bronze, opaque, except the head and the median part of 

 prothorax which are shining ; head and prothorax very closely 

 foveolato-punctate, the latter is convex, sharply marginate in the 

 anterior part and laterally, the lateral margin is gradually attenuate 

 for about one-third of the length towards the anterior part, but not 

 at all angular at the base of the attenuation, in the anterior part of 

 the disk there is slight trace of a median smooth line; elytra elongate, 

 convex, with the posterior part sloping, very sharply carinate laterally 

 from the base to the rounding of the posterior part, and with the 

 margin carinate, the suture is also raised ; it is narrowly striate, the 

 striae are shallow and the intervals plane and covered with very 

 closely set punctures bearing each a squamiform, slightly flavescent 

 hair ; pygidium flat, very much inflexed, under side and legs as in 

 G. pumilus. 



Length 15-16 mm. ; width 9f-10 mm.

Mentum glabrous, rounded laterally at middle and a little attenuate 

 towards the tip, apical part emarginate; basal joint of labial palpi sub- 

 triangular, broad, second a little broader than the first but of nearly 

 the same shape, third one so small as to be almost invisible ; lobes 

 of the ligula very slender and a little longer than the labial palpi ; 

 maxillae deeply notched at tip outwardly at the point of insertion of 

 the maxillary palpi, inner lateral lobe long, slender ; first joint of 

 maxillary palpi slender, curved, second much thicker and a little 

 shorter, third shorter than the second and thicker, fourth very swollen 

 at middle, sharply acuminate at tip, and a little longer than the two 

 joints preceding ; clypeus uni-dentate in the centre, bi-dentate on each 

 side, and with the genae projecting very distinctly laterally where 

 the suture with the clypeus should be, because there is no trace of 

 it ; the eyes, which are not very targe, are not wholly divided by the 

 canthus of the genae, and the upper part showing is very small and 

 narrow, and has a distinct ridge projecting in front of it ; the 

 antennae are normal ; the last joint of the club is not very convex ;
