and the outer margins have a fringe of very long sub-ciliate h airs ;

Length 12-13 mm. ; width 7 mm. 



Female : Reddish-brown, shiny ; frons and clypeus deeply pitted, 

 the punctures almost foveate on the semicircular clypeus the margin 

 of which is much raised and has an inner row of fairly long, upright, 

 sub-fulvous hairs, the frontal keel is highly raised, the frontal 

 part is more densely hairy, and although not carinate along the base 

 there is a very faint elevation there ; prothorax twice as broad as 

 long, rounded and ampliated laterally in the middle, moderately 

 convex, fringed on the sides with very long, fine hairs, very sparingly 

 punctate even on the sides, where each puncture bears a long setose 

 hair, and having a fringe of shorter ones in the median part of the 

 base above the scutellum which is large, moderately acuminate at 

 apex, and closely punctulate ; elytra gradually ampliated from near 

 the humeral part to three-fourths of the length, and hardly narrowed 

 thence to the posterior angle which is not broadly rounded, they are 

 moderately convex, very little dehiscent behind, cover the greatest 

 part of the propygidium, are shiny, irregularly sub-punctulate in the 

 anterior part, coriaceous behind, have extremely faint traces of two 

 dorsal striae, and are fringed laterally and behind with very long 

 hairs, but are otherwise glabrous ; pygidium very broad at the base, 

 triangular, vertical, deeply and closely punctate, each puncture being

" Bright testaceous, head, prothorax, and scutellum clothed with 

 pale flavous hairs, which are extremely minute, hardly visible on the 

 elytra, but long and dense on the rest of the body ; clypeus small, 

 semicircular, bare, shining, roughly punctate, separated from the 

 frontal part by a strongly elevated keel, this frontal part as well as 

 the whole posterior part is clothed with long and dense setae ; 

 antennae reddish-testaceous, the second, fourth, fifth, and sixth joints 

 are nearly equal, the third a little longer, the club tri-jointed and 

 longer than the pedicel ; prothorax short, with the sides regularly 

 curved, strongly contracted in the anterior part, less so behind, hind 

 margin lobate in the middle ; elytra moderately broad, shining, very 

 minutely hairy, the hairs flavous, the sutural and other costae obso-
