Close to J/. Froggatti, Blackburn, but of a shorter and more com- 

 pact form, the head with a longitudinal spot, prothorax with a 

 median vitta and less distinctly impressed, the sutural darkening

 closer, it differs in its spotted head, dark under surface, clearly 

 punctate elytra and shorter antennte.
