Blue-black, dull, the upper surface densely, minutely, roughly punc¬ 
tured all over. Head subtriangular, acutely rounded in front, rather 
acute at tip, the lateral margins sinuated; tylus a little longer than the 
lateral lobes^ recurved at tip; antennae yellow, the last two joints dusky; 
rostrum pale piceous. Thorax broader than long, the transverse impres¬ 
sion of the middle almost effaced ; the humeri rather prominent. Scu- 
tellum very high, convex, about as broad as long, reaching the genital¬ 
bearing segment, slightly sinuated at the lateral margins, not emargi- 
nated, nor striated. Hemielytra but little narrowed towards the tip, 
orange, with a narrow, black, slightly waved line near the interior mar¬ 
gin, punctured only at the base. Venter polished, finely punctured at

joints; rostrum dark piceous. Thorax nearly one half broader than

but little prominent, shallowly emarginated above, and very slightly so 
beneath. Scutellum much longer than broad, becoming a little nar¬ 
rower posteriorly, moderately convex, closely punctured, at the sides 
confluently so; lateral margins waved, not deeply sinuated at base, the 
apex obliquely rounded, reaching the base at the genital-bearing seg-
