Allied to the preceding, but with a shorter rostrum, the pro- 

 thorax at the base as broad as the elytra, the femora grooved 

 for the reception of the tibia?, and the two basal segments of the 

 abdomen unusually large.

The spot on the elytra has a dark claret-brown hue, is free 

 from scales, and has, although opaque, a somewhat velvety ap-

 do not differ from the Dorey insect which I have selected as 

 the type.
