bowed at the scutellum; sides distinctly angular. Elytra broadest 
before the apex ; margins suddenly deflexed, the deflexions being of 
nearly uniform width ; suture raised ; each elytron with three distinct 
costse ; mesosternum simple, clothed with fulvous pubescence. Abdo- 
men moderately thickly covered with small hair-like scales. 
Pygidium narrow, triangular, with the apex rounded, clothed with

Head with a somewhat indistinct fovea between the eyes ; elypeus 
rounded in front, but less so than in G. farinosus, margin reflexed. 
Eyes prominent. Antennae as in the foregoing species. Thorax 
without any groove along the anterior margin ; sides less decidedly 
angular ; posterior margin bi-emarginate, the emarginations forming an 
obtuse angle at the scutellum. Elytra with the sides nearly straight, a 
little broader at the apex ; margins suddenly deflexed, the apical 
deflexion double as broad as the lateral ; suture raised, each elytron 
with three costae, the third somewhat less distinct. Sternum unarmed, 
clothed with grey pubescence. Abdomen clothed with very small ovate 
grey scales. 
Pygidium triangular, acuminate (cJ), thickly clothed with very 
small elongate-ovate yellow scales. The head, thorax, and elytra are 
thickly clothed with larger, flat, ovate scales, which are white, except 
those on the apical deflexion of the elytra, where they are yellow. 
The female has the eyes less prominent ; the club of the antennae 
is ovate ; the pygidium is nearly semi-circular. *
