 reaching the postmedian band of the elytra. Prothorax longer than broad, rounded 

 at the sides, a little narrower in front than at the base ; the transverse black marking 

 of the disc extended in the middle to the basal margin, the marking being shaped 

 almost like the letter T. Apical angles of the elytra sharp, but not produced into
