coarsely punctured ; anterior margin of clypeus concave-emargi- 

 nate,its extreme edge, together with the labrum, obscure piceous ; 

 antennae scarcely longer than the thorax, six lower joints rufo- 

 piceous, the five outer ones black, thickened and forming an elon- 

 gated club. Thorax longer than broad, subglobose, subconic 

 towards the apex, the basal margin sinuate on either side, the 

 median lobe broadly truncate ; upper surface closely covered with 

 large, round, deeply impressed punctures, clothed witli adpressed 

 griseous scales ; on either side of the disk is a broad, longitudinal, 

 glabrous space. Scutellum scarcely broader than long, pentan- 

 gular, densely clothed with griseous scales. Elytra much broader 

 than the thorax at the base, attenuated towards the apex ; convex, 

 transversely depressed below the basilar space, the humeral callus 

 strongly thickened; surface closely but rather less coarsely punc- 

 tured than the thorax, interspaces just below the scutellum ele- 

 vate-reticulate. All the femora armed beneath with a stout 

 spine ; tibice more or less stained with obscure piceous. Ante- 

 rior episternum with its anterior border convex, and its antero- 

 intcrnal angle free.

Head coarsely and deeply punctured, the puncturing less 

 crowded on the clypeus, the anterior margin of the latter suban- 

 gulate-emarginate, the angles acute ; antenna) slightly longer than 

 the thorax, the six lower joints piceous, the five outer ones black. 

 Thorax not longer than broad, subglobose, narrowed towards the 

 apex, basal margin with the median lobe slightly produced, trans- 

 versely truncate ; surface closely covered with large, deeply im- 

 pressed, oblong punctures; interspaces granulose, basal lobe trans- 

 versely striguloso. Scutellum subquadrate, its apical margin bi- 

 sinuate. Elytra much broader at the base than tlie thorax, at- 

 tenuated from the base to .the apex, the latter truncate ; above
