I have used the name of this species given to it by Lefèvre, 

 who had the insect for examination; the female is rather larger, 

 the punctuation of the thorax is closer and that of the elytra 

 stronger, with the interstices near the apex slightly costate. I 

 possess several specimens without more precise locality.
