Head, thorax, base of abdomen and the ventral segments densely covered with 

 longish white pubescence; the front more densely covered with longer fuscous hair; the 

 hair on the vertex also fuscous, but shorter. Front and vertex finely and closely punct- 

 ured, the puncturation on the outer orbits stronger, with the punctures much more 

 distinctly separated. Mesonotum and scutellum closely, deeply punctured, almost reticul- 

 ated; there is a distinct keel on the centre of the basal half of the mesonotum. Meta- 

 notum similarly punctured to the mesonotum but more strongly; the apical slope more 

 or less reticulated, with a few stout transverse striae in Ihe middle; on the basal partis 

 a deep, moderately wide furrow, extending from the base to near the apex. Basal seg- 

 ment of abdomen rather strongly and closely punctured; the others smooth; the last 

 roundly incised. The oral region is fringed with long golden hair. Tegulre ferruginous.
