ately punctate; sterna densely and strongly, abdominal segments 
not very minutely punctate. 
Head rather small, transverse; eyes moderately large, placed 
behind the middle; antennae not very slender, subequal in width, 
reaching apex of intermediate coxae, 1st joint nearly as long as 
2nd-3rd combined, 2nd-3rd equal, 11th not as long as 9th-10th 
combined. Pro thorax longer than wide, wider than head, trans- 
versely globose in front, deeply constricted near base, base 
truncate; a tubercle on each side at base; median line distinct, 
becoming feeble near apex, and having a small fovea near tubercles. 
Scutellum extremely small. Elytra not one and a half times as 
long as head and prothorax combined, not much wider than 
anterior portion of the latter, shoulders feebly rounded, sides 
parallel to near apex; a feeble impression on each side between 
suture and shoulders; suture very feebly raised near apex. Legs 
rather short and thick; four posterior femora arcuate; tibiae rather

densely clothed with rather long pubescence, longest on elytra: on 
the undersurface the pubescence is short. Head and prothorax

Head rather small, transverse; eyes moderately large, placed

combined. Prothorax: not much longer than wide, wider than
