Late subovata, valde convexa, altitudine majori (a latere visa) 

 ante elytrorum marginem medium posita ; minus nitida ; 

 rufo-ferruginea, corpore subtus nigricanti, verrucis piceis, 

 prothorace utrinque macula laterali et (nonnullorum exem- 

 plorum) macula discoidali piceis ornato, antennis apicem versus 

 infuscatis; capite crebre subf or titer subrugulose punctulato; 

 • prothorace quam longiori ut paullo magis quam 2J ad 1 

 latiori, ab apice paullo ultra medium dilatato, pone apicem
