This species closely resembles Thranius gibbosus, Pasc. in the 

 shape and relative width of the prothorax, I)ut differs in having 

 longer and more attenuated elytra. These organs are widest a 

 little ])eliind tlie shoulders, and are thence rather strongly narrowed 

 towards the middle , Ijeing very slightly and gradually narrowed 

 from a little in front of the middle up to about the beginning of 

 the posterior fourth, where they are least broad, and j^etween 

 which point and the apex they are again slightly dilated. In its 

 narrowest part, each elytron is less than half of its width at the 

 l)ase. The elytra vary in colour from fulvous-brown to dark brown; 

 and in the darker specimens an elongate spot at the base and 

 a transverse spot in front of the middle may be distinguished.
