 l)clo\v the base, the latter convex, punctured like the rest of the 

 surface, the punctures as usual stronger within the depression 

 than at the rest of the disc, often surrounded by a piceous ring,

Tliis is one of the few species, in which the underside is 

 black and therefore comparatively easy of recognition; in the 

 seven specimens before me there is no variation in this respect

 pressipennisj Jac. is a closely allied species but has no black 

 but a fulvous underside.

 fulvous, thorax with strongly rounded sides, sparingly punctured, 

 elytra with basal depression, distinctly punctured anteriorly, the 

 sides and apex nearly impunctate.
