rufous with indic.itions of two black fascia?. The thorax is cylindrical, 

 with small, conical, obtuse, lateral tubercles. The centro-basal tu- 

 bercles are conspicuous, owing to the long pencil of hairs with 

 which they are crested. The legs are pale rufo-testaceoxis, clouded on 

 the femora, and with the apex of the tibise and the tarsi black. The 

 antennag are slightly longer than the body, the 3rd and 4th joints con- 

 siderably elongated, relatively ; pale testaceous with the tips of the 

 joints fuscous.
