Antennae brassy, reaching to apical fourth of pronotum, 
serrate from the fourth joint. Head with the front convex, the 
sides roundly expanded at vertex, then slightly narrowed 
posteriorly and toward clypeus; vertex and occiput very feebly, 
longitudinally impressed ; surface finely scabrous, becoming 
longitudinally rugose on occiput, intervals finely, densely gran- 
ulate, nearly glabrous. Clypeus wider than long, with the front 
margin deeply, arcuately emarginate. Pronotum one-half wider 
than long, strongly narrowed at base; sides moderately arcuate 
in front, sinuate behind the middle; lateral margin nearly 
straight when viewed laterally ; hind angles rectangular without 
any trace of a carina in either sex ; disk moderately convex with- 
out depressions, either at middle or sides; surface coarsely, 
closely, transversely strigose, the intervals between the ridges 
sparsely and finely punctate. Scutellum strongly, transversely 
carinate. Elytra sinuate behind the humeri, scarcely dilated 
behind the middle, then strongly narrowed to apices, which are 
separately, acutely rounded and strongly serrulate; sides of ab- 
domen exposed above ; disk with a distinct costa extending from 
humeri to apex, the interval between this and the suture feebly 
concave; sutural edge slightly elevated from middle to apex; 
humeri not well developed, not carinate ; basal depressions rather 
feeble; surface subopaque, finely and densely, imbricately gran- 
ulate, smoother at apex, and ornamented as above. Body 
beneath brassy green; prosternum densely granulate, with a 
broad band of densely placed, suberect, white hairs, along the 
middle ; prosternal lobe broadly rounded and vaguely emarginate 
at middle ; intercoxal process not very wide, gradually narrowed 
to behind co xae, then abruptly narrowed to apex, which is acute ; 
propleura moderately, closely punctate and sparsely pubescent; 
metasternum densely, imbricately granulate, sparsely and finely 
pubescent. Abdomen finely strigose-punctate, becoming gran- 
ulate at sides of first segment, finely pubescent; first ventral 
segment convex, not impressed nor conspicuously pubescent; 
last ventral obtusely rounded at apex; vertical portions of the 
segments rather densely pubescent; pygidium without a project- 
ing carina at apex. Hind tarsi one-half as long as the tibiae, 
first joint equal in length to the two following joints united; 
anterior tibiae feebly arcuate, with a slight mucro at the inner 
apical angle ; middle and posterior tibiae simple ; claws dissimilar, 
anterior ones almost truly bifid, cleft near apex, middle ones less 
so, and the posterior ones cleft near middle, forming a rather 
broad tooth, the lower portion not incurved.
