t? ? . Black-brown, somewhat rufescent ; npjierside pubescent copper-brown, 

 sparsely irrorated and dotted with white ; underside grey ; tibiae, apex of femora 

 and base of antenna rufous, end-segment of antenna lutescent. Rostrum broader 

 than long, constricted behind antennal cavities, the upper edge of the latter being 

 straight and rather wide. Prothorax al)0ut half as broad again as long, more 

 strongly convex in front than behind, sligiitly narrowed from carina forward ; 

 three white basal dots, the mesial one the largest, produced forward as a line, 

 some small grey-white discal spots, sides shaded with white scale-like hairs. 

 Scutellnm white. Elytra oblong, nearly straight at sides, strongly rounded behind, 

 convex, depressed at basal edge, rounded-declivous from before middle to apex, 

 very densely granulated, stripes of punctures feebly impressed, not very con- 

 spicuous ; shoulder, side and apex irrorated with grey-white, some antemedian and

S ? . Rufescent brown, head and underside densely irrorated with white scale- 

 like hairs, meso-metasternum and abdomen more densely white, elytra with white

 above, devoid of subbasal callosity, almost evenly convex from base to apex in 

 side-view ; white sutural line broad, the others thin, situated in the alternate
