[Long. 5-6i, lat. 3-3^ lines. 

 The coarse puncturation of the prothorax rugulosely crowded 

 on the sides distinguishes this species from all its congeners 

 known to me except fastuosus, Germ. The seriate punctures of 

 the elytra are somewhat finer than in cnprijjenriis, and are quite 

 indistinguishable from the punctures of the interstices except by 

 their seriate arrangement. The interval between the eyes is 

 about a quarter narrower than in cwpripennis. The outline 

 curve of the elytra, viewed from the side, is strong, with its 

 summit slightly in front of the middle.
