f ulva vestitus ; brunneo-ferrugineus, elytris basi sanguineis, 



prothorace antice utrinque macula nigra Isevi subverruci- 



formi ornato, antennis (harum articulo 3"^ quam 2"^ duplo 



longiori, quam 5"^ manifeste quam 4"^ fere duplo breviori) 



palpis pedibusque testaceis ; prothorace insequaliter punctu- 



lato, canali mediano subtili integro sat fortiter impresso, 



ad basim utrinque ante scutellum tumido, angulis posticis 



unicarinatis sat fortiter divergentibus ;, elytris quam piothorax 



paullo latioribus, ad apicem oblique emarginato-truncatis, 



punctulato-striatis, puncturis in striis sat parvis postice sub- 



obsoletis, interstitiis convexis subtiliter granulatis; prosterno 



in medio sat fortiter vix crebre punctulato, latera versus 



latissime deplanatis, suturis prosternalibus sat rectis ; pronoti 



carina laterali antice sat fortiter (fere in presternum) deflexa; 



tarsorum lamella sat lata. [Long- §2' ^**- ^l ^i"®^- 



The large slightly elevated pustule-like shining black blotch on 



either side of the middle line of the prothorax, a little in front of 



the middle, renders this species incapable of confusion with any of 



its congeners.
