 rounded, posterior almost right angles, basal margin subsinuate 

 from the middle to each side ; surface slightly convex, impressed 

 here and there with deep punctures, congregated in irregular 

 rows ; sides convex at their outer edge, longitudinally, broadly 

 but obsoletely excavated within, their surface covered with large, 

 irregular, deeply-impressed, confluent punctures. Scutellum
