Slender species; head (including antennae and mouth parts) black, 

 closely punctured with pale villosity, eyes large, hemispherical; anten- 

 nce black, thorax black, punctured like head, pubescence pale, feebly 

 impressed in the median line at its posterior third; scutellum large; 

 elytra black, more coarsely punctured than the head and thorax, 

 palely villose, with yellow markings disposed as follows: two dorsal 

 vittae, one on each elytron, not reaching to the posterior third of ely- 

 tron; here it is angularly deflexed externally, forming the vitta into an 

 obtuse angled hook; midway between this hook-like deflexion and the 

 apex of the elytron is a large blotch longer than wide and lying at the 

 same angle as the bent end of the vitta; a marginal vitta on each 

 elytron distinctly shorter than the dorsal, and a small marginal spot 

 just opposite the ante apical dorsal blotch; legs and under side of body 

 black both clothed with pale hairs, the former closely beset with shorter 

 hairs, the latter more sparsely set with long hairs.
