Antennae dark reddish-brown, very thinly covered with gray pubescence, at base
indistinctly annulate from fourth segment; scape blnck, thinly dark brown pubes­
cent.
Head with a median impressed line from occiput nearly to epistoma; front con­
cave between antennal tubercles, very finely, densely punctate, with a number of
large punctures interspersed; genae feebly vertical, very finely, denscly punctate,
with a fcw larger interspersed punctures; eye with lower lobe oblong-ovate, one
and one-third times the height of the gen:\ ; antennal tubercles prominent, at apex
with an elongate, acute horn directed anteriorly. Pronotum transverse; sides feebly
arcuate, narrowed apically, laterally armed with a very feeble tubercle, which ends
in a. short" obtw;e process; an .'l.picnl and a basal transverse sulcus, the basal one
not oblique laterally; di£k medially near base with a feebly elevated, slightly elongate
tubercle, either side uneven and somewhat rugose, base with a number of punc­
tate-grallules. Scutellum strongly transverse, sides nearly straight, oblique, apex sub­
truncate. Elytra with sides almost straight, feebly arcuate posteriorly to tips, apices
separately rounded; disk basally feebly gibbose, the entire bas:!l third densely,
finely punctate, becoming rugose behind humeri on sides, rest with rather con.rse

dilated. Fifth sternite one-half again as long as fourth, apex feebly emarginate.
Antennae twice or more the length of body, fimbriate feebly on scape, rather heavily
so on third and fourth segments, and slightly on fifth ; scape short, not attaining
middle of pronotum, rather suddenly clavate on apical third, with four or five deep
grooves at hase beneath, rest of surface finely, densely punctate; third segment in
