narrow carina; the surface regularly punctured, more or 
less rugose, the intervals between the punctures convex. 
Surface covered with a sparse but distinct whitish pu- 
bescence. Vertex finely punctate, the punctures becoming 
more longitudinal near the front. Eyes large, subelliptic; 
the temples clothed with silvery, rather long, dense pu- 
bescence. Antennae extending nearly to base of pronotum, 
serrate from the fourth joint, the second and third joints 
subequal, longer than the fourth. 
Pronotum widest near the anterior margin; obliquely 
widened, with sides straight, from base to the anterior third, 
then feebly, arcuately narrowed to the anterior angles. The 
anterior margin slightly bisinuate, bordered by a stria in- 
terrupted at middle, with the median lobe feebly produced. 
The posterior angles feebly expanded and distinctly obtuse ; 
when viewed from the side, the marginal carina is nearly 
straight, feebly sinuate, to the anterior angles; the lower 
carina is connected at base with the lateral carina, and the 
two are nearly parallel on the anterior half of the pronotum. 
The angular carinula extends from near the posterior angle 
to near the middle of the lateral carina, but does not reach 
the angle or the lateral margin. Base trisinuate, the median 
lobe feebly produced and broadly, arcuately emarginate in 
front of the scutellum. Disk broadly transversely depressed 
in front and near the base, with a suboval longitudinal de- 
pression in front of the scutellum; surface very feebly 
pubescent, finely and subtransversely rugose, with the inter- 
vals between punctures slightly convex. 
Scutellum wide, transversely carinate. 
Elytra somewhat wider at the shoulders than the prono- 
tum at the base, nearly equal in width at base and behind the 
middle, then obliquely and arcuately narrowed to the apices, 
which are separately and rather narrowly rounded and very 
finely serrulate. Disk slightly flattened, without costae, 
feebly depressed posteriorly along the suture. Suture mod- 
erately elevated posteriorly. The base of each elytron with 
a broad, deep depression between the humerus and the basal 
margin, which is distinctly carinate. Surface finely imbri- 
cate. 
Abdomen wider than elytra, narrowly exposed at sides. 
Chin piece slightly emarginate at middle ; prosternum
