-Dark piceous-brown, legs and antennte somewhat paler; feebly 

 shining, rostrum highly polished. Head sparsely squamose ; 

 rostrum glabrous except in lateral grooves ; prothorax with 

 ochreous scales about base and apex and a few on disc, elsewhere 

 with small sooty scales ; elytra more densel}'^ clothed, the scales

 summit of lateral declivity bounded by small acute ridges; a 

 shining rounded carina very indistinct near base and apex, but
