Rufous brown, clothed with ratiier strong hairs, some of which are long, chiefly 

 on the elytra and abdomen. Head and prothorax very densely granulate-jninctate, 

 the former with a feeble longitudinal groove. Antennae a little shorter than the 

 body ; the fom- basal joints thickened and villose with strong hairs, the tifth joint 

 fringed underneath with long hairs, whilst the remaining joints have short and 

 rather sparse hairs ; scape strongly jmnctnred, a little shorter than the fourth and a 

 little longer than the third joint, tlie fifth longest, the remaining joints gradually 

 diminishing in length ; the tip of the fourth and fifth joints blackish brown. 

 Prothorax as long as broad : the sides all but straight, the disc rather flattened. 

 Scutellum somewhat excavated, the lilackish apex rounded. Elytra parallel, dark 

 brown, the apical fifth and a patch on each elytron behind the base of an ill-defined 

 pale brown colour; densely punctuated, the interstices slightly transversely rugose ; 

 the disc with a fine raised line. Under surface shining, jjrosternum faintly trans-

Dirty brown, densely clothed with a short, ashy grey, and somewhat silky

 pressed, with the apex rounded and faintly dilated. Elytra a little attenuated
