Pale bnif, thinly clothed with a short jmbescence. Two somewhat ill-defined 

 pitchy brown streaks, one at each side, continued from the anterior margin of the 

 prothorax to near the apex of the elytra, toin'h the outer margin of the elytra jnst 

 before they curve round towards the suture, where they meet eacli other. Antennae 

 twice as long as the body ; l.iasal joints fringed underneath with sparse long hairs ; 

 scape somewhat clavate, third joint longer than the fourth and shorter than the 

 fifth. Prothorax three times as long as broad ; disc with a feeble impression at 

 each side, and with a faint tubercle in front of it. The punctured rows of the elytra 

 are not quite regular, and become obsolete at the apex. 



Femora somewhat clavate, hind ones extending to the tip of the elytra.

 dilated, rounded in front of the hind angles, scarcely constricted anteriorly ; disc 

 somewhat nodulose, especially behind. 



Elytra dark brown or almost black, elongate, and a very little narrowed towards 

 the base, densely and strongly punctured ; each apex slightly rounded ; suture, 

 outer margins, and three carinae on each elytron sharply elevated : between the 

 second and third carina is a short humeral one; the cariuae brown; second interstice 

 dilated in the middle, where it has a short impressed line. 



Metasternum dark lirown, abdomen nearly black ; legs similar in colour to
