Antennae 10-jointed, club minute. Head broad and short, the 

 surface with some large indistinct impressions , and also coarsely 

 and densely rugose-punctate , the clypeus slightly emarginate in the 

 middle. Thorax very short , the sides dilated , the base appearing 

 constricted on account of the hind angles being pushed inwards, 

 hence there are no hind angles, the fine lateral margin disappears 

 before reaching the base, the surface is moderately closely and rather 

 sparingly punctured. Scutellum coarsely and sparingly punctured. 

 Elytra of a shining reddish colour rather darker at the base, they 

 are rendered uneven by some broad longitudinal depressions, and are 

 densely and coarsely punctured. Hindbody greatly inflated so that 

 the pygidium and the whole of the broad dorsal segment preceding 

 it are exposed , this latter is dull and rather finely punctured , the 

 pygidium sbining and rather coarsely punctured. The metasternum is 

 dull and bears a short , scanty pubescence , the middle however is 

 more sbining, rather coarsely punctured and with a very short scanty 

 pubescence; hindbody quite dull at the sides, but more shining about 

 the middle, sparingly punctured. Prosternum without elevated pro- 

 cess; hind tibiae robust. 



Ancylonycha constricta Burm. appears to resemble "this species in 

 the peculiar form of the thorax.
