The silvery scales on prothorax and about the scutellum (itself 

 nude), and the entirely black colour of this rather pretty little 

 species are its chief distinguishing features.

Entirely black. A patch of yellowish pubescence about the 

 scutellum, extending on to the 1st and 2nd interstices to about two- 

 fifths from apex, and a much shorter distance on 3rd, the whole 

 forming an obtuse V; base of pygidium with silvery pubescence, 

 its apex nude ; sides of prothorax, sides of sterna and abdominal 

 segments with pale yellow and moderately dense pubescence, rest 

 of under surface with sparser and lighter coloured pubescence; 

 legs (except tarsi) glabrous. 



Eyes very large, almost touching; rostrum short, thick, com- 

 pressed, opaque, grooved, feebly bent and coarsely punctate; 1st 

 joint of funicle thicker and but slightly longer than 2nd. Pro- 

 thorax with a short feeble irregular carina; on each side of middle 

 a large circular shallow impression feebly open towards apex. 

 Scutellum small, triangular, nude. Elytra about once and one 

 quarter as long as wide, interstices irregular. Anterior legs 

 moderately long; femora very minutely dentate ; 3rd tarsal joint 

 moderately bilobed, claw joint rather small. Length 2^, rostrum

 at sides and angles (becoming elongate spatulate scales lower 

 down) and a stripe continned from head, at middle of base a
