 scaly, coarsely, not closely punctured; antennae and tarsi dark reddish- 

 brown. Beak cylindrical and punctured throughout, male, slightly tapering

 quite obvious, nearly entire. Elytral intervals not distinctly tuberculate, 

 but with rows of close-set, very minute, acute asperities. Scutellar spot 

 not cruciform, confined to the sutural interval. Length 3 mm." (Dietz.)
