clypeus somewhat oblique laterally, truncate in front with the outer 

 sides somewhat broadly rounded, very slightly emarginate in the 

 middle in both sexes, clypeal carina arcuate, no clypeal groove, no 

 basal carina or groove, the surface, except the basal part, is closely 

 scrobiculate ; antennal club of antennae flavescent, long in the male ; 

 prothorax plainly ampliated and rounded laterally past the median 

 part, and less obliquely attenuated thence towards the sharp basal 

 angle than towards the anterior, outer margin somewhat finely 

 serrulate, the whole surface covered with somewhat cicatricose, equi- 

 distant punctures, a little more widely set, however, in the discoidal 

 part than on the sides and along the anterior margin, the intervals 

 on the median dorsal part are nearly smooth but much narrower and 

 slightly scabrose on the sides ; scutellum pluri-punctate except at 

 the apex ; elytra elongated, nearly cylindrical in both sexes, very 

 closely and deeply punctured, and with the intervals much 

 narrower than the latter ; propygidium and pygidium very closely 

 and finely punctate in both sexes, each puncture bearing a minute 

 squamulose hair ; pectus not hairy ; abdomen hardly depressed in 

 the centre in the male, not very convex in the female, all the seg- 

 ments are nearly as closely punctured in the middle as on the sides, 

 the penultimate is broader than the one preceding, and the last 

 one is wide and swollen in both the sexes ; the basal tooth of the 

 anterior tibise is very small in the male, and almost obliterated in 

 the female ; the tarsi are long, and the upper tooth of all the claws 

 much more slender, especially in the male, than the lower.

Testaceous, elytra somewhat paler than the prothorax, head 

 darker ; palpi and antennae somewhat ferruginous ; head narrow, 

 eyes very large ; clypeus plainly emarginate in front, clypeal carina 

 sub-triangularly arcuate in the middle, suture distinct in the centre 

 of the frontal part, separated there from the apex of the carina by a 

 double row of punctures, and slightly bi-sinuate, basal carina sinuate, 

 surface of clypeus and forehead covered with deep, nearly coalescing 

 punctures except in the centre above the suture ; prothorax 

 ampliated laterally at about the median part, less diagonally 

 attenuated, thence towards the basal part than towards the apical, 

 serrulate and moderately densely villose along the outer margin, 

 basal angle sharp, surface covered with deep, sub-foveolate punc-
