the channel, lower portion obsoletely tuberculate, finely punctured 
and reticulate, anterior portion clothed with grey pubescence. 
Elytra constricted at the middle, a tubercle 
at middle of base, a transverse one near 
suture at middle and two or three near 
apex, all more or less connected by longi- 
tudinal and transverse ridges, interstices 
strongly punctured and reticulate. Py- 
gidium tricarinate, the ridges connected at 
base by a transverse costa. 
Length 4 mm. 
Hab. Northern India. 
The pubescence of the head and thorax 
is only present in well-preserved specimens, 
where it is very distinct but was not noticed 
by Baly. That author makes no mention 
of any ridges connecting the tubercles of the elytra, nor of those 
to be seen at the sides of the thorax.

Black, opaque ; basal joint of antennae, labruin, anterior femora 
and tarsi fulvous. 
Broadly subquadrate. Head flat, variegated with fulvous, closely 
and finely punctured, each puncture with 
a short yellow seta ; palpi fulvous ; 
antennae fuscous, basal joint fulvous. 
Thorax very closely punctured, sides with 
a small callosity, middle portion very 
moderately and obliquely raised, narrowly 
sulcate at top of posterior portion, with 
two slight ridges that run downwards at 
the sides towards the anterior margin, 
the inner ridge forms the limit of the 
median sulcus above. Scutellum finely 
carinate. Elytra with a compressed 
tubercle at middle of base, a sinuate 
ridge parallel with suture from base ending behind the middle 
in a strongly-raised transverse tubercle, a similar tubercle at 
middle of outer disc that extends in a ridge upwards to the 
shoulders, a third and less strongly-marked ridge near lateral 
margins : apical portion occupied by another semicircular distinct 
ridge, highly raised near the suture, from whence it turns outwards 
and is lost near the margins ; interstices strongly rugose and 
uneven; suture serrate. Breast closely rugose-punctate. Pygidium 
finely punctured, with central and lateral ridges. 
Length 5 mm.
