Black, with the legs and lower surface shining and bearing a 

 few reddish seta) : the upper surface covered with a black or 

 olive-black velvety bloom, with small interspersed bare patches 

 upon the elytra, and decorated with silky pale yellowish markings 

 as follows : — minute indefinite spots upon the vertex of the head 

 <ind the sides of the pronotum (a row of three being generally dis- 

 tinguishable on each side of the latter), a minute spot in each 

 angle of the scutellum (sometimes indistinguishable), and a large 

 double patcli on each elytron, occupying the greater part of the 

 posterior half of the outer margin. There is an indefinite 

 sprinkling of the same colour upon the pygidium, femora and sides 

 of the sternum and abdomen. 



The form is rather broadly oval and robust. The head is finely 

 rugose, with the front margin entire, broadly rounded at the sides 

 and scarcely reflexed. The prothorcuc is very coarsely punctured 

 (more coarsely at the sides), with the lateral niargins bisinuate 

 iuid the base narrowly excised in the middle. The ftcutelhan is 

 moderately long, with the apex moderately pointed, and bears a 

 few large punctures. The elytra bear rows of very large horse- 

 shoe-shaped impressions, some of which are elongate and con- 

 tiguous, producing a chain-like appearance. The p;i>jidiiim is 

 rugose, impressed on each side, and setose, the metaslennim smooth 

 in the middle and very coarsely punctured at the sides, and the 

 abdomen very coarsely punctured all over. The mcsosti'rnimi forms 

 a very short and blunt conical process, and the front tibia are 

 armed with three acute short teeth.
