 granule. Spots of the elytra small, arranged in iuconspicnous transverse lines here

Black, clothed with a grey pubescence. Head finely punctured ; the cheeks 

 straight. Prothorax about three (juarters tlie breadth long, ini])uuctate : the 

 lateral teeth cons]iicuously short and rather blunt, phiced close to the basal groove. 

 Shoulders of the elytra jjromiuent and carinate ; punctuation sparse at the base, 

 a little denser in the middle, and almost entirely wanting at the apex of the elytron ; 

 of the black and shining markings of the latter the humeral macitla is irregular, the 

 postmedian fascia is broadest near the suture, where it is narrowly iiitcrruiJled, and 

 does not cjuite extend to the outer margin ; the postmedian and the a])ical fasciae 

 are separated only by a narrow oblique grey baud; femora distinctly clavate.
