 ing, strongly punctured, thinly clothed with long, erect, flying hairs. 

 Head densely punctured; prothorax (?) scarcely longer than wide, 

 rounded on the sides in front, narrowed and sub-sinuate near the 

 base; coarsely punctured, with the usual smooth callosities, of which 

 the two anterior ones are round and rather prominent. Scutel 

 punctulate, pubescent. Elytra squarely truncate at base, scarcely 

 wider than the widest part of the prothorax, parallel on the sides, 

 rounded and slightly truncate at tip; punctures not dense, a little 

 smaller at tip than at base. Antennae a little longer than the body, 

 slender, fringed with flying hairs, which become gradually less nu-

 very feebly flattened on the upper side; fourth joint somewhat 

 shorter than the fifth. Metasternum with distinct odoriferous pores; 

 thighs rather strongly clavate, finely punctulate, with sparse setiger-
