Alutaceous; disks of the head, thorax, and dorsum, with five terminal joints of the antennas, darker ; the antennte are slender, with the joints relatively longer than in Obphrum simplex, Sh. (to compare them with a very common Japanese species), but otherwise the structure of the articulations is ; the head uneven between the eyes, with irregular and scat- tered punctures ; punctures smaller and fewer between the antennae; epistoma smooth; the thorax mar- gined on all sides with a faint stria, anterior margin bisinuous; angles rounded off, with the edge behind them feebly crenulate, posterior angles rectangular, sides dilated and slightly narrowed behind, punctured some- what more coarsely than the head, surface uneven, with a fovea before the scutellum and two others, less distinct, placed longitudinally on each side of it near the margin (or they are merged in one, as in the figure) ; the scutellum triangular, with a few small punctures; the elytra complete, dilated along the outer edges, ovate, except at the base ; dorsal area striate-punctate, sutural row of punctures and those next to it most distinct, outside the fifth row the punctures become denser and lose their linear arrangement; the basal segments of the ab
