also the posterior part of the elytra; some long, straight brown 
hairs are scattered over the elytra, and on the margins of the

the eyes, and a transverse line of small punctures on the 
forehead ; thorax rather cordiform, almost straight laterally, 
with the anterior angles rounded and impressed ; the pos- 
terior angles very rounded, sinuous, and having a deep 
punctiform impression; the surface presents transverse 
striole, and others longitudinal on the posterior margin ;
