Head with dense round concealed punctures. Rostrum slightly 

 longer than prothorax and rather strongly curved, sides very 

 feebly incurved to middle; sides at base rather strongly punctate, 

 elsewhere shining and with moderately small and rather sparse 

 punctures. Scape inserted two-fifths from apex of rostrum; 1st 

 joint of funicle distinctly longer than 2nd, 2nd the length of 3rd 

 and 4th combined, 7th moderately transverse. Prothorax rather 

 widely transverse, sides rather strongly incurved near apex, base 

 moderately bisinuate; with dense, round, deep, partially concealed 

 punctures. Elytra oblong-cordate, about thrice the length of 

 prothorax, and at base suddenly wider, sides parallel to near 

 apex; with series of rather large but almost entirely concealed 

 punctures; interstices convex, wider than punctures, the alternate 

 ones rather feebly raised. Under surface and legs as in the pre- 

 ceding species. Length 6J, rostrum 2; width 3 mm.

The clothing of the elytra is divided into four distinct sections : 

 a basal portion triangularly advanced on suture and of a brown 

 shade, a larger and almost circular apical patch of similar scales, 

 with two whitish triangles (each of which is as large as the basal 

 portion) filling the intervening space.

 constriction feeble, ocular lobes rounded but rather prominent. 

 Scutellum distinct. Elytra oblong-cordate, considerably wider 

 than prothorax, base almost truncate. Pectoral canal deep and 

 narrow, terminated between intermediate coxae. Mesosternal
