strongly punctured, striated, the striae forming in parts an inter- 

 lacing network. The propleurse epai^ely punctured, the punctures 

 below running into striae ; meso- and metapleuriB closely and

 pubescence. The sides of the metanotum are bordered, except at 

 the base and apex, by a furrow. Apex of abdomen covered by 

 silvery pubescence. The 2nd joint of the antennae, together with 

 the IsTi are as long as the third. Collar short, much broader than 

 long. Occiput transverse in the middle.
