136 THE TRIBE ONOIDERINI
MALE. Elongate-ovate, subcylindriclll, clytra subconvex; head and pronotum
dark reddish-brown or piceous, elytra paler; head, pronotwn, scutellum, and ex­
treme base of elytra grayish-yellow pubescent; remainder of elytru brown pubes­
cent, each elytron with three "narrow, short, oblique, white lines, the first a short
distance behind humerus descending toward and nearly attaining suture at middle,
the second just behind middle, shorter, less oblique, ascending toward but not at­
taining suture; third more apical, about as long as first, ascending toward suture and
somewhat arcuate, a few indistinct, whitish maculae along lateral margin. Beneath
dark reddish-brown, thinly clothed with grayish-yellow pubescence, this pubescence
concentrated on abdomen to form a small, indistinct macula laterally on each seg­
ment. Legs dark or medium reddish-brown, thinly grayishyellow pubescent. An­
tennae with scape dark reddish-brown, remaining segments paler ; scape on basal
twothirds and third segmcnt on basal onethird grayish-yellow pubescent, apices
brown pubescent, fourth, sixth, eighth, and tenth on basal half whitish, remainder
of these scgments and fifth, seventh, ninth and eleventh segments entirely brown
pubescent.
Head above minutely alutaceous, with a median impressed line from occiput to
near middle of front; front subquadrate, narrowed somewhat abruptly ncar epi­
stoma, surface very finely, densely punctate, with scattered, coarse punctures; genae
clongate, much wider on lower part, finely alutaceous, only very sparsely pubescent;
eye with lower lobe much elongate, oblong, only feebly ovate, about one-third
longer than gena ; antennal tubercles prominent, well separated, and produced at
apex into a short, very robust tooth, directed upward. Pronotum transverse, apex
subcqual t·o base in width, 'Sides feebly arcuate; a basal and an apical sulcus, basal
one oblique laterally; entire surface with scattered coarse punctures, at sides near
base with setigerous punctate granules; unarmed laterally. Scutellum transverse,
sides straight, feebly oblique, apex subtruncate. Elytra with sides nearly parallel
to apical third, thence rounded to apices which are separately rounded; each ely­
tron subgibbose at base and with a wide shallow depression following the line of
the anterior margin of first white line; entire basal half of surface with moderately
spaced, coarse, decp punctures, thence to apex punctures only very slightly smaller;
humeri prominent, anterior margin broadly arcuate, angle with a feeble, obtuse
tubcrcle. Prosternum abruptly widened behind middle; mesosternal process decply
emarginate at tip; fifth sternite about one-fourth longer than fourth, at apex feebly
fringed and subtruncate. Procoxae globose, with a well formed, robust uncus; pro­
femora robust, clavate, rugose on basal third on all four surfaces, other femora
not as robust and more abruptly clavate; protarsi feebly dilated. Antennae about
one-third to one-half longer than body; scape rather slender, reaching only to
apical quarter of pronotum, gradually clavate, beneath at base with two or three
deep grooves, upper surface with small punctures, becoming finer apically; third
segment slender, moderately cun'ed, about twice length of scape, remaining seg­
ments gradually shorter; moderately fimbriate on first, second, third, fourth, and
slightly so on fifth segments.
FEMALE. More robust; antennal tubercles only very feebly produced at apex;
procoxae very feebly, obtusely tubercled; fifth sternite nearly twice as long as
fourth, at apex deeply, angularly emarginate and with a triangular impression, the
base of which is broad and deep (forming a sulcus along apical edge) and apex
