Black, witli the coxae, trochanters, liiud margins of the al)dominal segments, 

 and tlie tip of the last joints of the antennae somewhat pitchy brown ; clothed with 

 a rather dense olive grey pubescence. Lateral carinae of the front straight and 

 feeble ; median carina obsolete. Siiles of the prothorax rounded jiosteriorly, much 

 less so in front ; anterior margin narrowly ferrnginous ; a doubled nuKuia on the 

 disc and a very small sjjot on each side black. Scutellum semicirenlar, entirely 

 pubescent. Elytra convex at the ajiex and subtriuicate, with tlic outer angles 

 spined, and with the sutural ones a very little produced ; a ferruginous, somewhat 

 triangular, macula behiud the scutellum, and two black transverse bauds are 

 common to both elytra ; the tirst baud is narrow, angnliform, with the point of 

 the angle standing on the suture iu front of the middle and directed towards the 

 base, the second broad and straight, gradually shading olf |)osteriorly ; moreover, 

 there is an anguliform line in the middle of the base of each elytron, with the point 

 of the angle also directed towards the base ; the pubescence of the apical jiart of the 

 elytra is darker at the tip than in front of it.
