3 2. Brown, pubescent-grey beneath, luteous-grey above. Frons one-third (¢) or one-half (@) the width 
of the rostrum, in ? clayish at eyes, in ¢ densely clayish-grey like the rostrum. Antennal segments 
1 to 4 and 11 luteous. Prothorax one-third broader than long, strongly angustate, coarsely rugate- 
reticulate, depressed at carina, with the basal angle strongly projecting laterad and a little anad, spotted 
with luteous-grey. Elytra slightly depressed at base of suture, strongly punctate-striate, finely and 
dispersedly granulate, an ill-defined band of spots behind the brown subbasal callosities curved forward 
laterally, a transverse patch or band, also ill-defined, on apical declivity, and a number of lateral and 
apical dots as well as some sutural ones, all luteous-grey. Legs rufescent-brown, basal half or two-thirds 
of tibiae and of first tarsal segment rufous; first fore tarsal segment less than half the length of the tibia 
in both sexes; mid tibia of ¢ with an apical curved mucro and before it with a tooth.
