Neck and vertex rugose-punctate ; front trisulcate, the medial groove less strongly 
impressed than the lateral ones; interocular space rather strongly produced ; clypeus 
produced, transverse, its apex obtuse. Antenne rather longer than the head and thorax; 
joints cylindrical, the club slightly compressed. Thorax transverse ; sides converging 
from base to apex, obtusely angulate, sinuate from the base to the middle, thence bi- 
sinuate and more quickly converging to the apex; upper surface transversely convex, 
depressed on the hinder disc, closely and coarsely rugose-punctate. Scutellum transverse, 
its apex truncate, slightly bisinuate. Hlytra broader than the thorax, oblong, parallel, 
regularly rounded at the apex; sides distinctly and somewhat irregularly, the apical 
margin more strongly, serrulate ; each elytron with eight, at the extreme base with nine, 
rows of punctures; the suture, together with the second, fourth, and sixth interspaces, 
strongly costate.

Anguste oblonga, subtus nitida, supra subnitida, nigra, sepe purpureo tincta, capite nigro-virescenti; thorace 
subconico, lateribus a basi apicem versus convergentibus, medio distincte angulatis; dense et fortiter 
punctato, utrinque vitta lata sublaterali flava; elytris oblongis, apice rotundatis, tenuiter, ad apicem paullo 
distinctius, serrulatis ; utrisque octo-, basi extrema nono-seriato-punctatis, interspatiis secundo et quarto, 
nec non sutura, sat valde costatis, interspatio sexto minus distincte elevato; flavis aut fulvo-flavis, 
dimidia fere postica parte plagaque suturali post scutellum posita, nigris. 
Var. A. Elytris fulvis, dimidio postico, macula communi subscutellari vittulisque duabus infra basin, una 
inter costas primam et secundam, altera inter costam tertiam et marginem positis, nigris.

Vertex trisulcate ; interocular space moderately produced ; clypeus transverse, 
produced, semilunate. Antenne black, robust ; lower joints cylindrical, the seventh and 
the club slightly compressed. Thorax transverse ; sides converging from base to apex, 
distinctly angulate; upper surface entirely covered with coarse punctures. Elytra 
parallel on the sides, rounded at the apex, finely serrulate (more strongly on the apical
