The pronotum is coarsely but sparsely punc- tured at the sides and almost smooth in the middle; the sides are strongly angulated in the middle and nearly straight from there to the front and hind angles, which are sharp, the base being broadly rounded in tlm middle and not margined. The scutellum is smooth and sharply pointed. The elytra are coarsely and deeply striate-punctate. The pygidium is coarsely rugose and bears a few long hairs near the apex. The meta- sternum is rugose and thinly pubescent, and the abdomen is coarsely punctured. The mesosternum forms a broad compressed slightly prominent lamina. The front tibiae are strongly bidentate, and the larger claw of the front and middle feet is cleft. cJ.
