testaceous, the club composed of three loosely articulated joints.

 the suture slightly raised ; each elytron with six feebly raised costte 

 which extend to just before the apex, the interstices broad and 

 provided with two rows of rather large punctures ; latei-al margins

The elongated form of this species, in conjunction with its long
