issuing from the punctures on the upper and under sides ; clypeus 

 truncate and emarginate in front, covered with closely set scabrose 

 punctures, clypeal carina sharp, basal carina distinct, the space 

 between the two is closely granulose, the basal part beyond the basal 

 carina is smooth ; club of the antennae of the male very long ; pro- 

 thorax very little ampliated laterally slightly past the median part, 

 covered with scabrose punctures along the anterior part for about 

 half the length, and thence by more scattered and non-scabrose ones 

 to the basal part, each one of these punctures bears a very small 

 squamiform hair, and above the base there is on each side a smooth, 

 shining fold ; scutellum with one or two semicircular series of deep 

 punctures; elytra sub-cylindrical, covered with deep round punctures 

 bearing a minute squamiform hair, and separated from each other by 

 a space about equal to their own diameter ; pygidium covered with 

 somewhat closely set, round punctures ; abdominal segments covered 

 especially on the sides with very numerous setiferous punctures, 

 pectus with appressed greyish sub-squamiform hairs ; penultimate 

 abdominal segment wider than the one preceding ; anterior tibiae bi-
