 margins extending nearly to the apex, there is also another, 

 sutural small black mark near the apex; under side obscure

 more shining and more strongly and remotely punctured, the 

 depressions deeper, elytral bands more distinct and well 

 defined, the under side nearly black.

I am not positive, whether the two specimens contained 

 in my collection are really the different sexes, since the last 

 abdominal segment is the same in both, that is, with its 

 posterior margin slightly sinuate at the middle, but the 

 great difference in size and the shorter antennee in one seems 

 to suggest the female sex. 



The collection belongs to the Museum of Xatural History 

 at Stockholm.
