Black, with the Lead, anterior margin and fore angles of the prothorax, tip of 

 elytiu (about ^ the length), abdomen, and legs rufo-testaceous ; first abdominal 

 segment pitchy black, second pitchy brown. Clothed with a greyish pubescence, 

 short ovate, convex, with the elytra' somewhat abrn])tly raised behind the scutellum. 

 Prothorax rather strongly ]>roduced and truncate in front of the scutellum, less 

 densely and coarsely punctured than the elytra. Each of the latter with two distinct 

 rows of large punctures at the base extending to the middle of the disc, and with 

 traces of two other rows ; the space at the suture between the rows, common to both 

 elytra, very finely punctuated. Metasternum with a coarse and dense punctuation 

 at the sides ; the middle with less close punctures, with a triangular smooth median 

 space and a fine median line. Abdomen coarsely and densely punctured. Ooxal 

 lines complete, nearly reaching the hind margin of the segment, running for a little 

 time parallel to the hind margin, where they approach the latter, and then extending 

 down to the fore angles of the segment in an almost straight line.
