broadest at base, there one-seventh broader than long, lateral

with a few smooth granules, hind angles acute, disk carinulate 
in the middle and with a transverse row of four black, fascicu- 
lated spots, the anterior margin with two such spots, scales like 
those of elytra, minute, remote, ochraceous; scutellum hemisphe- 
ric, yellowish-scaled; elytra with rows of more or less roundish 
or quadrate punctures, which are never distinctly oblong; an 
elevated stripe on declivity of suture, a tubercle at base, and an 
elevated stripe in the middle of second interval black-scaled; 
femora covered prevailingly with ovate and sparser lanceolate 
scales.
