 cupreous, more strongly shining than above.

 occiput, and two large, irregular, smooth callosities forming an irregular, trans- 

 verse elevation on front ; front uneven ; surface finely, irregularly, confluently 

 punctate, with numerous small, smooth elevations behind clypeus, and sparsely 

 clothed with moderately long, recumbent, white hairs ; clypeus broadly, deeply, 

 angularly emarginate in front, arcuately rounded on each side. Antenna brown- 

 ish cupreous, distinctly narrowed to apex; intermediate segments subtriangular, 

 not compact, as long as wide, broadly subtruncate at outer margins ; third seg-
