Long. 15 mm., elytr. 11, lat. n|. 



Head with large and deep scattered punctures, especially near the eyes on the 



front and vertex, and in the middle of the front : neck, cheeks, and antenna! tubers 



impimctate ; with a grey streak before each auteanal tnber and with the sjiace 



between the antennae also somewhat densely pubescent grey. Joints of the antennae 



smooth ; tip of the basal, and l)ase of all the joints grey : third joint and base of the 



scape with a longitudinal groove. Lateral teeth of the prothorax conical and almost 



pointed at the tij) ; the pubescence of the disc feebly particoloured with grey near 



the median carina. Scutellum grey along the median line, longer than broad, with 



the ajiex truncate and slightly sinnate. Elytra coarsely and densely punctured, the 



punctures becoming sparser behind near the suture, which is somewhat depressed, 



each puncture giving origin to a short, scale-like hair ; of the two feeble carinae of 



each elytron, the interior one is strongly raised at the base, and bears granules : the 



second is entirely obsolete on the basal half of the eljjtron ; in front of the apex 



there is the trace of a third and lateral raised line. Each elytron with a faint grey 



longitudinal and somewhat curved streak between the discal carinae in front of 



the middle, and with a second streak of the same colour before the first near the 



suture ; these markings are not very conspicuous, as the remainder of the elytra is 



particoloured with grey : two other streaks, also rather inconspicuous, of a blackish 



brown colour : one running from the middle of the interior carina obliijnely 



backwards to the side and not reaching the lateral margin, the second standing 



in front of the apex. Under surface uniformly pubescent olive grey. Tibiae with 



two slight olive tawny rings.

Pitchy brown, with the mouth, base of autennal joints and femora, and the 

 middle of the tibiae of a buff colour ; clothed with a fine and somewhat silky- 

 grey pubescence, which is tinged with tawny. Prothorax and elytra minutely 

 s])otted with black, the elyt.ra, too, bearing a narrow transverse postmedian 

 streak, which is curved on eacli disc;. Head and prothorax without distinct punc- 

 tuation, except the basal constriction, which bears some transversely arranged larger 

 punctures. Scape of antennae reaching the base of the jirotliorax, entirely rufous; 

 tip of the remaining joints blackish. Scutellum somewhat varying in shape, the 

 apex being sometimes emarginate, sometimes nearly rounded. Elytra rather finely 

 and irregularly punctulated, each with traces of thi-ee raised lines.
