the median part which is slightly ampliated, and covered with equally 

 distant, moderately deep, round punctures separated from each other 

 hy a space equal to their diameter, and apparently glabrous ; pygidium 

 with scattered round punctures ; pectus clothed with a long, dense 

 ilavescent pubescence ; seriated punctures of the abdominal segment 

 not deep and bearing a short hair, penultimate segment not wider 

 than the preceding one ; anterior tibiae tri-dentate ; anterior tarsi 

 moderately long, upper claw longer than the lower one and not quite 

 so wide ; basal joint of hind tarsi a little dilated at the tip and longer 

 than the one following.

Head and prothorax chestnut-brown, elytra and under side ferru- 

 ginous-red, shining, glabrous on the upper side but having a fringe 

 of not closely set setae along the outer margin of the prothorax and 

 •elytra, pectus thickly villose, abdominal segments with the normal 

 transverse row of long, appressed hairs ; clypeus plainly obtuse in 

 front, slightly sinuate in the middle, especially in the male, margin 

 reflexed, and emitting in both sexes a distinct, median longitudinal 

 ridge stopping a little short of the clypeal carina which is sharp and 

 .arcuate, there is no impressed line behind it, and the genae are con- 

 spicuously projecting in a triangle much rounded at the top, the 

 basal carina is formed by a very slightly raised line having a series 

 •of deep punctures immediately adjoining it, and the surface of the 

 whole head has deep, round, somewhat scattered punctures except 

 along the anterior part of the clypeal and the posterior part of the 

 basal carinae ; prothorax a little ampliated laterally past the median 

 part, plainly attenuate thence to the apex, distinctly serrate, closely 

 scabrose on the upper side from the apex to near the base, somewhat 

 •scabroso-punctate there and having in the centre a somewhat indis- 

 tinct smooth longitudinal line sometimes wanting, the base is fringed 

 with dense flavescent hairs ; scutellum sparsely punctulate all over ; 

 •elytra elongated, slightly ampliated laterally past the median part, 

 •covered with moderately deep punctures separated from each other 

 by a larger space than their diameter and bearing each a most minute 

 .hair; anterior tibiae strongly tri-dentate, tarsi longer than the tibiae,
