Elongate. Colour testaceous ; antennas (the three basal seg- 

 ments excepted) fuscous. 



Head i m punctate, frontal elevations broad, subquadrate, carina 

 acutely raised, lower portion of the face detlexed, eyes large. 

 Antennas extending to halt the length of the elytra, the third and 

 the following segments nearly equal in length. Prothorax more 

 than twice as broad as long; the sides are but slightly rounded 

 and narrowed in front, with an explanate and refiexed lateral 

 margin ; anterior angles very slightly produced outwards; upper 

 surface extremely minutely punctate when seen under a strong- 

 lens, the punctuation a little more distinct at the sides. Scutd- 

 lum broad, impunctate. Elytra scarcely more strongly punctate 

 than the prothorax, the punctures closely placed. Underside

 one millimetre shorter); first segment long and club-shaped, 

 second much shorter than either first or third; the following 

 segments are almost, equal. Prothorax much broader than long, 

 sides rounded, with somewhat explanate and concave lateral 

 margins, anterior lateral angles rather broadly produced outwards; 

 upper surface minutely and finely punctate, the punctures 

 being visible under a high power and in a suitable light. Scutellum 

 broad, triangular, impunctate. Elytra broader at the base than the 

 prothorax. with lateral margins slightlv explanate, and surface
