This is an exceedingly well-marked species, owing to its dull 

 black colour, strongly concave anterior margin of the prouotum, 

 with its sharplv projecting angles, and the exceedingly coarse texture 

 of the well-rounded elytra. It is moreover the only species in 

 which the pygidium of the male has a minute spinule at each 

 angle, instead of a strong spine in the middle.
