Oblong-ovate, nigro-villose above, cinereo-villose beneath. Head 

 black, punctate, the clypeus broad, reflexed, truncate, with the

 margined all round with brownish-black, and irregularly punctate,

 the anterior tibiae lightly bidentate, the first joint of the posterior 

 tarsi much longer than the second.
