Less elongate than fasciata, black or piceous, shining, moderately 

 clothed with erect and semierect pale hairs, longest on head and 

 thorax; thorax pale yellowish, with a longitudinal vitta each side 

 black; elytra black, the sutural and lateral margins pale. Antennae 

 ten-jointed, pale yellow; joints seven to ten usually entirely fuscous. 

 Head black; parts of the mouth (the mandibles excepted) and usually 

 the front between upper portion of the eyes pale; coarsely, densely 

 punctate. Thorax slightly longer than broad, scarcely narrower at 

 base than at apex; sides dilated at basal two-fifths, behind this 

 suddenly but not very strongly compressed and nearly parallel to 

 base; apical third rather strongly convergent to apex; disk convex, 

 at middle rather finely and sparsely, at flanks more densely punctate; 

 surface even or at most with very feebly elevated area at middle 

 near base; yellow, with a black vitta each side, usually abbreviated 

 at apex and base, very rarely reduced to a small maculation or 

 entirely wanting. Elytra about two and one-half times as long as 

 thorax; sides nearly parallel; apices nearly conjointly rounded (very 

 slightly dehiscent, with angles minutely rounded at suture) ; punc-
