singulatim aculeata, modice divaricata, longe irregulariterque serrata, 

 supra convexa, rude profundeque punctata, sutura elevata margineque 

 lateral! valde reflexa, costulis duabus e pilis pubeque densioribus 

 formatis in singulo instructa ; pedes elongati, breviter sed dense 

 pilosi ; corpus subtus punctulatum, tenuiter terreno pubescens. 

 Long. 18 mm. ; lat. 8 mm. 



This species is easily distinguishable owing to the thick, earthy 

 pubescence and long villose hairs, which cover the whole upper part 

 and which form on the elytra two distinct costae on each side of 

 the disk ; the sutural part of the apex is deeply incised but not 

 divaricate, and has on each side five outer distinct short teeth.
