body, rather slender ; the four basal segments more slender, smooth, 

 hairless; the seven apical segments more thickened, sparsely 

 covered with bristly hairs; first segment long and club-shaped, 

 second slightly thicker than third, which is almost equal to fourth, 

 fifth to eleventh almost equal. Prothoraoc about one millimetre 

 broader than long, the greatest length being along the middle, 

 basal margin oblique and bisinuate on either side, the median lobe 

 distinctly produced ; anterior angles curved slightly outwards, 

 obtuse at the apex, posterior angles acute ; each of the four angles 

 bearing a fine seta ; sides convexly rounded ; surface transversely 

 convex, closely and rather coarsely, but not deeply, punctate, 

 faintly rugulose, interspaces granulose. Scutellum small, trian- 

 gular, and with a few punctures. Elytra hardly broader at base 

 than prothorax, strongly punctate-striate, the interspaces ami 



whole of the surface finely but distinctly punctate, the inter- 

 stitial punctures being much finer, and giving the surface a 

 granulose appearance ; on each elytron there are eleven longitudinal 

 rows of punctures, including a scutellar row, nine principal rows, 

 and an extreme marginal row ; the rows converge towards the 

 apex ; counting the scutellar row as the first, the eighth and ninth 

 rows commence from a point immediately behind the slightly 

 convex humerus; the interspace between the tenth and the 

 extreme marginal row is much wider than the other interspaces at 

 the base, but narrows towards the apex. Underside more or less 

 sparsely covered with fine hairs, and closely and strongly punctate. 

 Length, 5 mm.
