Prothorax truncate at base and apex, the apical margin almost vertical laterally, the base witli its margin slightlv raised, the gidar edge very shallowly sinuate and with the front coxa) placed very close to it. Scutellum very small, but distinct. Elytra truncate at the base, without true shoulders, the basal mar-^in depressed, the apices jointly rounded, finely punctato-striate a1id with the lateral margins very shallowly sinuate. Sternmn with the niesosternal epimera very small and not separating the base of the elytra from the episterna; metasternuin hardly as lonc^ as the median coxa?, with its episterna fairly broad and the episteraal suture distinct throughout, the posterior cox« not reaching the e ytra. Venter with the intercoxal process rounded and narrower than the coxae, segment 2 as long as 3 + 4, and separated from 1 by a slightly curved suture. Legs rather short, the apex of the tibias of the hind pair scarcely reaching the apex of the elvtra in the 2 , a little exceeding it in the S ; the femora slightly thickened the front pair not thicker than the others ; tlie more or less curved, not granulate internally, the front pair wnh no internal apical spine, the hind pair with the corbels open; the tarsi moderately broad, the claws connate at the base.
