Moderate-sized, elongate-ovate, robust. Head with front elongate, narrow,
gradually widened below eyes; genae feebly elongate; eye with lower lobe large,
broadly oblong, twice height of gena; antennal tubercles prominent, robust, sub
approximate, produced into a robust, short, subacute t{}Qth in male. Pronotum
transverse, sides arcuate, unarmed, base feebly wider than apex; apical transverse
sulcus shallow, basal one oblique laterally; disk with five tubercles, median one
elongate. Scutellum transverse; apex notched medially. Elytra with sides nearly
straight, distinctly attenuate, gradually rounded to apex from apical fourth ; apices
separately rounded; basal gibbosities broad, feebly elevated ; basal third of disk
rather sparsely and finely granulate-punctate; humeri prominent, anterior margin
nearly straight, feebly oblique, angle with a large tubercle, from which extends
posteriorly a distinct carina which nearly attains middle of elytra. Prosternum
unarmed, gradually widened posteriorly; mesosternal process wide, sides emarginate
and apex deeply, bilobedly emarginate. Legs elongate; procoxae globose, in male
anteriorly with a prominent, conical tubercle; femora strongly clavate beyond
basal third, profemora in male transversely rugose on upper and lower surfaces;
metatibiae in male slightly dilated apically. AnteIlIL'ie two-thirds again as long as
body in male, scnpe moderately robust, attaining apical third of pronotum, more
strongly clavate on apical 'half, coarsely rugose to middle on all sides (in male) ;
third segment cylindrical, strongly sinuate, nearly one-half again as long as scapc;
remaining segments gradually shorter, eleventh in male longer than tenth and with
a process.

tennae fuscous, thinly brown pubescent, bases of segments from fourth hoary­
annulate.
Head minutely, densely alutllceous, with a fine median line from occiput to
clypeus ; front gradually narrowed above, narrowly concave between antennal
tubercles, minutely, densely alutaceous, impunctate; genae feebly vertical, aluta­
ceous, toward sides feebly punctate; eye with lower lobe large, oblong, twice the
