antennal tubercles, which are widely separated, and vaguely elevated ; 

 eyes deeply emarginate, and separated from each other on the top 

 by three times the width of the upper lobe. Antenna one and one- 

 half times as long as the body, coarsely, sparsely punctate, sparsely 

 clothed with long, recumbent and erect, whitish hairs intermixed, 

 apical joints finely punctate, and densely clothed with short, recum- 

 bent pubescence; joints unarmed at apices; first joint robust, slightly 

 arcuate, moderately clavate, one-half as long as the third joint, 

 which is considerably longer than the fourth; eleventh joint slightly 

 longer than the tenth. 



Pronotum slightly longer than wide, and feebly narrower at base 

 than at apex; sides subparallel (vaguely rounded at middle); disk 

 even, and slightly flattened; surface densely, coarsely punctate, 

 densely clothed with long, recumbent, whitish and pale yellow 

 pubescence, with a few long, erect hairs intermixed, the pubescence 

 nearly concealing the surface. Scutellum broadly triangular, curvi- 

 linear, and rather densely clothed with recumbent, whitish 

 pubescence. 



Elytra three times as long as the pronotum, and at base distinctly 

 wider than pronotum at middle ; sides parallel from base to near the 

 tips, which are conjointly, broadly rounded, but not spinose; surface 

 rather densely, coarsely, irregularly punctate, densely clothed with 

 long, recumbent, whitish and pale yellow pubescence, which partially 

 conceals the surface, the whitish pubescence predominating, and with 

 a few long, erect, white hairs intermixed. 



Abdomen beneath coarsely, sparsely punctate, rather densely 

 clothed with long, recumbent and semierect, whitish pubescence; 

 last segment broadly rounded at apex. Prosternum rather densely, 

 finely punctate, transversely rugose .anteriorly, densely clothed with 

 long, recumbent, whitish pubescence ; prosternal process very narrow, 

 and arcuately declivous posteriorly. Mesosternum rather narrow, 

 even between the coxal cavities, and scarcely declivous in front. 

 Leps rather long, sparsely, irregularly clothed with long, recumbent 

 and erect, whitish hairs; femora strongly clavate, but not spinose at 

 apices. 



Female. — Differs from the male in having the antenna about as 

 long as the body, eleventh joint subequal in length to the tenth, 

 pronotum as wide as long, yellow pubescence not distinct on doi'sa] 

 surface, and the femora not so strongly clavate.
