The vittie on each elytron are two short ones on the front part 



of the disc placed side by side and a longer one on the hinder part 



of the lateral margin of the disc; in some examples they are 



scarcely traceable. The species is readily distinguishable among 



its near allies by the close rugulosity of its elytra by which the 



puncturation is rendered ver}' inconspicuous. There is scarcely 



any difference between the male and female except in characters 



common to the genus.
