Pitchy-brown, very shining, with a golden lustre, the legs and antennae black, the 

 tarsi ferruginous. Head with a few very small punctures, the epistoma distinctly 

 marked by a slightly curved line between the antennae; labrum distinct and pubescent 

 in front. Thorax twice as wide as long, the sides a little sinuate, contracted at the 

 front angles, the latter prominent, the hind angles somewhat acute. Elytra strongly 

 swollen, the margins and apex being rather retracted ; with four series of irregular 

 punctures which are almost geminate, and terminate behind the middle ; the interstices 

 are very smooth and flat, with a few small scattered punctures, the punctures behind 

 the middle becoming more distinct though confused; the margins are very little 

 expanded; and the apex is slightly produced, although from the convexity of the 

 surface it is not visible when the insect is viewed from above.
