 sparsely clothed with short, recumbent, white hairs, the intervals finely, dense'y 

 granulose; clypeus broadly, deeply, angularly emarginate in front, broadly 

 rounded on each side. Antenna bronzy, gradually narrowed to apex ; inter- 

 mediate segments about as long as wide, broadly rounded at outer margins; 

 third segment slightly longer than fourth. 



Pronotum twice as wide as long, subequal in width at base and apex, widest 

 near apex; sides parallel at middle, arcuately converging at apex, arcuately 

 constricted at base ; anterior margin strongly sinuate, with a broadly rounded 

 median lobe ; base deeply, arcuately emarginate on each side, the median lobe

 a distinct, longitudinal, median sulcus, and a shallow depression on each side
