Metanotal area shining, sparsely punctured, furrowed down the 

 centre, the apex finely, closely transversely striated. Clypeus 

 shining, roundly convex above, the apex flatter, more depressed, the 

 lower edge depressed, transverse ; the sides thickly covered with 

 silvery depressed pubescence. Front and vertex closely and strongly 

 punctured ; antennal keel stout. Thorax closely and strongly punc- 

 tured, the mesopleurae closely rugose ; its apex with a striated belt, 

 the striae distinctly separated and curved ; the base of metapleurae 

 more finely and closely striated, the striae becoming longer below. 

 Abdomen strongly punctured ; pygidial area longish, narrowed at 

 the base and apex, the sides roundly curved outwardly, the base 

 rugosely punctured, the middle obscurely punctured, the apex almost 

 smooth ; the extreme apex depressed, slightly curved inwardly ; the

 long as the preceding two united, is roundly incised below, the apex
