back of the elevation bituberculate at top, rest of surface finely 
punctured and rugose. Elytra subquadrately oblong, constricted 
at the middle, a strong transversely shaped tubercle at middle near 
suture, another smaller one behind the middle, a high oblique ridge 
from shoulder to suture above the constriction, another narrower 
ridge from middle of base to the preceding ridge, three highly 
raised tubercles on apical portion of each elytron ; interstices 
strongly punctured ; suture dentate throughout. Pygidium with a 
central and a lateral ridge. Underside deeply rugose-punctate.

Hub. Nilgiris (Coll. H. E. Andrewes). 
The thorax differs in sculpture from other small species of the 
genus, and the antennae and tarsi are entirely fulvous ; when 
looked at from the side the thorax has four triangular pointed 
tubercles on the elevated portion.

Black ; bead, antennae, the thorax anteriorly, and the legs more 
or less fulvous. 
Head finely rugose. Thorax black with the posterior portion 
highly raised, from the top of which two acute ridges run down the 
sides, these meet at the base and form a transverse ridge behind, 
two other ridges extend down the middle and are abbreviated in 
front, rest of the surface closely reticulate and rugose ; a transverse 
flavous band widened at the middle and abbreviated at the sides, 
close to the anterior margin. Elytra with a highly raised tubercle 
at middle of base continued in shape of a ridge to middle of suture, 
a small tubercle near scutellum, an oblique ridge from shoulders 
to middle of suture, raised into two transverse tubercles at its 
centre and termination, apical portion with five other tubercles, 
the terminal ones the largest; suture dentate throughout. Pygi- 
dium with faint central ridge, finely rugose. Anterior and inter- 
mediate legs and the posterior tibiae flavous with an obscure 
piceous spot ; posterior femora black.

Black ; labrum, antennae and legs fulvous ; posterior femora, 
intermediate femora beneath and tibiae outwardly black. 
Head closely punctured, front closely pubescent with a faint 
longitudinal depression ; antennae rather shorter than the thorax, 
six terminal joints dilated. Thorax opaque, strongly and rather 
abruptly raised at the middle, top of elevation canaliculate, sides 
with a ring-shaped ridge attached to the upper ridges which limit
