obtuse ; surface impunctate. Scutelluni broad, triangular, with 

 the apex rounded, impunctate. Elytra extremely finely and 

 remotely punctate, the apical margins furnished with single seta-

Body oblong-ovate. Colour dark brown ; antennae (except the 

 three basal segments, which are brown) fuscous ; a more or less 

 distinct sutural stripe, narrowed behind and not extending to the 

 apex of the elytra, piceous ; sometimes the apices of the middle 

 and posterior tibiae and their corresponding tarsi are blackish. 



Head not longer than broad, impunctate, frontal tubercles well 

 developed, transverse and nearly contiguous, interantennal carina 

 short but distinct. Antennas two-thirds the length of the body ; 

 first segment long and club-shaped, second thick and small, third 

 one-half longer than second but slightly shorter than fourth, 

 fifth to seventh equal, the rest somewhat stouter. Prothorax 

 three times as broad as long, sides slightly rounded and narrowly 

 margined, margins reflexed, anterior angles thickened ; surface 

 somewhat convex and, seen under a high power, very finely and 

 sparsely punctate. Scutellum broadly triangular, impunctate. 

 Elytra hardly broader at base than prothorax, slightly widened 

 towards the middle, their apices rounded, the sides with a narrow 

 reflexed margin ; surface very finely and moderately closely 

 punctate. Underside : first segment of posterior tarsi as long as 

 the two following together.
