apex of the clypeus; the latter depressed, broader than long, its upper margin obtusely angulate, 
its surface closely punctured, subrugose ; antennae scarcely more than half the length of the 
body, filiform, slightly thickened towards the apex, the basal joint thickened, the second

third ; two lower joints fulvous, stained above with piceous, the third to the sixth obscure 
pieeous, the five others slightly thickened, black. Thorax nearly one half broader than long ; 
sides nearly straight and parallel from the base to the middle, thence obliquely converging 
to the apex, the hinder angles produced laterally into a large acute tooth, the anterior ones 
subacute; apical margin concave; upper surface irregularly punctured, the interspaces 
smooth and shining on the middle disc, finely rugulose on the sides. Elytra broader than
