1 Elytral discal punctures non­serial (Fig. 8) ................................................................... 2

­ Elytral discal punctures serial (Fig. 5) .......................................................................... 4

2 Elytral punctures entirely random, except one row along explanate margin; elytra weakly tumid over posterior declivity; punctures large and deep (Fig. 9)...................... ........................................................................................................ maxipunctus n. sp.

­ Elytra punctures random on disc, becoming serially arranged over posterior declivity; elytra not tumid over posterior declivity ....................................................................... 3

3 Elytral disc scabrous, surface very uneven between large random punctures; "series" 5 and 6 random; size larger, ca. 2.08 mm long (Fig. 8)............................... tunicus n. sp.

­ Dorsum brownish with cupreus and/or aureus metallic reflections; pronotal reliefs dull or very weakly shining, microreticulate or effacedly microreticulate; metasternum with or without glabrous area........................................................................................ 5

5 Elytral punctures each with four minute shining granules, two each at anterior and posterior margins; metasternum with small, shining, non­pubescent area basomedially (Fig. 2) ............................................................................................. clypeatus (Deane)

­ Elytral punctures without granules (Fig. 6); metasternum with or without glabrous area ....................................................................................................................................... 6

6 Pronotal median groove widest near base, tapering anteriorly to point; metasternum with glabrous area basomedially (Fig. 4) ................................... lamingtonensis n. sp.

­ Pronotal median groove widest anteriorly (Fig. 6); metasternum entirely hydrofuge pubescent.......................................................................................................................7
