L. 3| mill. Elongate, parallel, reddish brown, shining ; the head punc- tulate, punctures variable in size and not very closely set, clypeus anteriorly with a widely arched outline, not emarginate, frontal suture very distinct, with two dusky spots like those in yEgialia ruja, F. [nee Leconte), eyes small; the thorax with large, round, and deep punctures, irregularly and not closely set, intermixed witii smaller points, the punc- tuation anteriorly gradually lessening in size until the edge behind the neck, where it is very fine, the lateral edge is obscurely crenulate anteriorly, the crenulations gra- dually increase in distinctness until they form a series of denticulations round the posterior angles; the scutellum obsoletely punctulate; the elytra evenly punctate-striate, interstices smooth with crenulate edges; the metasternum is longitudi- nally subcanaliculate in the middle, with large punctures in the channel and a few on the side of the plate outside it; the legs, anterior tibise strongly tridentate.
