Show 286 ON THE PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA OF JAPAN. [3 largest, the basal one connected with the base, and two marginal ones representing the usual rami, the front one of which is below the humeral angle, and the posterior one is rather in advance of the subapical discoidal spot. The series of punctures are nine in number, with a tenth row of large and irregular impressions in the fold where the margin commences to be expanded; the striae are somewhat geminate, and the large punctures are at unequal distances.
