the white hairs being coarser and forming a pattern on elytra along 

 suture and sides and two vittate white lines in apical half, the brownish 

 hairs finer and more silky; elytra with a marked depression below 

 scutellum and also a deep one below basal callosities. 



Head with interocular space much more than half width of head, 

 eyes with small emargination at antennal sockets, a well-marked and 

 usually indented median line down front ending in a slight depression; 

 punctation dense, moderately coarse and becoming coarser in lower 

 part, pubescence over front brown, around eyes and mouthparts white. 

 Antennae extending well below humeri, rather slender without much 

 thickening of apical joints, seventh joint long, all reddish brown. 

 Prothorax nearly as long as wide with rounded sides curving forward 

 about eyes, disc convex, without depressions, very shiny, deeply and 

 moderately coarsely punctate, punctures tending to be elongate and 

 in middle often disappearing, leaving a linear median bare area, 

 sometimes a depression on either side near lateral edge and below 

 middle, from which pubescence radiates; pubescence over middle very 

 fine, silky and brown, over sides becoming coarser and white. Scutel- 

 lum with a few fine brown hairs. Elytra with well-marked humeri 

 and intrahumeral sulcus, widely depressed around and below scutellum, 

 a basal callosity and below it a transverse depression; surface very 

 lustrous, often with rosy or coppery lights, not too densely and mod- 

 erately coarsely punctate, without horizontal ridging, punctures be- 

 coming finer toward apex; pubescence forming a pattern with coarser 

 white hairs along base, suture and in short vittae below middle and 

 along sides, with a widening at middle, rest of surface with incon- 

 spicuous silky brown hairs not very dense or obscuring surface. Body 

 beneath densely punctate and evenly covered with white appressed 

 hairs; legs deep reddish brown, hairs at apex of tibiae long, silky, and 

 brownish in color. Length 9-11.7 mm.; width 4.5-5.5 mm.
