Antennæ flavous, rather short, the club with each joint narrowed to the base, the terminal joint a good deal shorter than the tenth. Rostrum very short, not so long as the head; eyes very large, but little separated, placed near to the thorax, the space between them very densely punctate. Thorax very slender, conico-cylindric, extremely densely punctate, quite dull. Elytra with deep broad striæ, which are closely and coarsely punctate. Legs rather short, quite pale; middle tibiæ of the male distinctly curvate. The four specimens obtained are possibly all males. The Mexican insect will probably prove to be a distinct species, but only one specimen has been received of it.
