middle, with 5 pairs of setiferous punctures, posterior angles very 
small. Sternum: about 20 setiferous punctures clustered about the 
midline, intercoxal spine with 10-12 setiferous punctures. Elytra: 
surface shiny. Anterior margin: small number of minute tubercles 
1/3 the width of the tubercles associated with setiferous punctures, 
4 or 5 setiferous punctures in first interval, 7 or 8 in third, 6, 7, or 8 
in fifth, and 5, 6, or 7 in seventh, striae lightly impressed. Ptero- 
thorax: mesasternum 8 setiferous punctures, metasternum 6 setiferous 
punctures. Abdomen: lateral parts of 1st and 2nd intersegmental 
sutures broadened and deepened to form a large fossa, other sutures 
enlarged laterally.

Description (diagnostic characters only). Head: large, 43% of 
the length of the elytra. Mandibles (Fig. 7) heavily worn in type, 
with striate dorsal surface and relatively small molar area. Eyes: 
50% of the height of the mandible. Antennae: absent in type. Latero- 
clypeus and antero-lateral halves of vertex with series of irregular 
striations. Vertex: pair of clypeal and supraorbital setiferous punc- 
tures. Without depression behind eye and large puncture at posterior 
end of scrobe. Prothorax : lateral grooves distinct with 7 or 8 seti- 
ferous punctures. Sternum: without setiferous punctures but with 
17 on intercoxal spine. Elytra: surface polished. Anterior margin 
with small number of tubercles about 1/3 the width of those asso- 
ciated with punctures. Lateral groove rugose. 8 setiferous punctures 
in third interval, striae impressed. Pterothorax : reduced, elytra fused 
together and to mesanotum, wings shorter than the metanotum. Met- 
episternum and metepimeron absent in type, L/W about 1. Mesa- 
sternum without setae and metasternum with 6. Abdomen: inter- 
segmental sutures normal. 
Measurements of holotype: Plead: length 4.0 mm, width 5.1, 
length/width 0.78. Mandible: length 3.0. Prothorax : length 4.0, 
width 5.6, length/width 0.72. Elytra: length 9.5, width 6.3, length/
