Head narrower than the anterior margin of the pronotum, 
very feebly convex in front, flat on the vertex, finely, densely, 
and irregularly punctate; front with a narrow, smooth, 
longitudinal carina reaching nearly to the epistoma; latter 
emarginate, not distinctly separate from the front. Anterior 
margins of the eyes converging posteriorly. The space sepa- 
rating the eyes, on the vertex, equal in width to the width of 
the eyes. Antennae not reaching the base of the pronotum, 
serrate from the fourth joint, the first joint elongate, the 
second twice as long as wide, the third as long as the second 
and slightly longer than the fourth. 
Pronotum widest at base, a little more than once and a 
half as wide at base as at apex, and once and two thirds as 
wide as long ; the anterior margin rather broadly and deeply 
bisinuate, finely margined; the sides straight and nearly 
parallel at base, then rounded and feebly convergent in front, 
each margined laterally by a regularly arcuate, sharp carina, 
slightly bent in front and reaching the anterior margin a 
little below the anterior angle; the posterior angles acute 
and slightly divergent ; the base feebly bisinuate ; the surface 
regularly convex, feebly flattened in the middle, punctate, 
the punctures green, slightly oval, larger, denser, and more 
oval on the sides than in the middle, and with an irregular, 
impunctate, longitudinal space at middle, and with a little 
impressed fovea in front of the scutellum. 
Scutellum wide (0.8 by 0.5 mm.), rounded laterally and 
posteriorly and truncate in front, smooth, shining, some- 
times reddish. 
Elytra as wide as pronotum at base, subtruncate at the 
shoulders, widest at the shoulders, nearly parallel to apical 
third, then straight and attenuate to the tips, which are 
separately rounded and acutely serrate, the denticles be- 
coming very small at apex. Sutural edge margined in api- 
cal third of its length. Surface with nine stride, the bottom 
of each with a line of very transverse punctures, the intervals 
between the striae very convex, the third and fourth striae 
feebly divergent at the base, leaving a coarsely punctured 
space, the fifth abutting a mass of shining punctures; the 
intervals becoming obsolete at base, except the fifth, which 
is prolonged in front. 
Prothoracic episterna finely and regularly punctate,
