clypeus truncate but with the sides rounded, and covered, like the 

 head, with the exception of the basal part of the latter, with very 

 closely set scabrose punctures ; prothorax closely scabroso-punctate 

 in the interior part and with deeper and somewhat close non- 

 scabrose punctures on the posterior, supra basal-fold, very distinct, 

 outer margin moderately plainly serrulate ; scutellum not distinctly 

 punctate ; elytra elongated and covered with deep punctures equally 

 distant from each other and bearing a minute greyish hair ; pygidium 

 faintly punctulate; sides of abdominal segments and. metasternum, 

 coxae, and episterns with appressed greyish squamose hairs ; anterior 

 tibiae tri-dentate, tarsi long, lower part of the incised claws short, 

 especially in the anterior, not much arcuate and nearly median 

 owing to the long curve of the upper ; penultimate abdominal 

 segment broader than the one preceding, last segment moderately 

 wide, not swollen.

Brick-red, with the elytra not paler than the rest of the body ; 

 clypeus very rounded laterally but briefly sinuate in the centre of the 

 anterior part ; clypeal carina arcuate, somewhat angular in the 

 centre and. having a transverse impressed line behind, the basal 

 carina is sharp, slightly arcuate, and the surface, with the exception 

 of the basal part behind the carina, is covered with asperous 

 pmnctures more closely set, however, in the frontal part than on 

 the clypeus ; prothorax distinctly ampliated laterally and broadly 

 rounded, towards the base, the outer margin is plainly serrate and 

 has a fringe of long setulose hairs, the sculpture consists of deep, 

 round punctures very briefly setigerous, more cicatricose in the 

 anterior than in the posterior part, but more closely set on the 

 sides than on the middle of the disk ; scutellum with two lateral 

 punctures on each side near the base ; elytra sub-cylindrical, 

 covered with slightly elongate punctures bearing each a very 

 minute hair, and divided from each other by a space equal to 

 twice their own diameter; pygidium closely foveolato-punctate ; 

 pectus briefly pubescent ; abdominal segments closely punctulate 

 laterally, each puncture bearing an appressed hair, penultimate one 

 not broader than the preceding, last one very little swollen ; anterior
