the shoulder to a third of the length and much naore strongly there, 

 convex, very deeply punctato-striate with the intervals between 

 each duplicate series of punctures costulate, and more distinctly 

 so in the male than in the female, but the interval between the 

 juxta-sutural costa and the second is filled in the anterior part with 

 irregular non-seriate rough punctures, these rows of punctures are 

 obliterated near the humeral and the apical callus which are very 

 distinct ; pygidium covered with round, equi-distant punctures 

 moderately closely set and fringed at apex with long fulvous hairs, 

 the pectus is clothed with similar villose hairs and each abdominal 

 segment has a transverse median I'ow of similar but shorter ones in 

 the female ; legs somewhat villose ; anterior tibiae bi-dentate out- 

 wardly in both sexes, inner claw of the anterior and intermediate 

 tarsi simple in the male, cleft in the female. 



Length 13-16i- mm. ; width 7-9 mm.

Testaceous, without any metallic sheen, head with the sides 

 diagonally fuscous, prothorax with two sub-longitudinal fuscous 

 patches occasionally obliterated ; elytra with a broad sutural black 

 band extending as far as the second or even the third stria, but 

 confined in the extreme posterior part to the suture only, the outer 

 margin has also a black line except near the humeral part ; clypeus 

 parallel laterally, truncate in front with the outer angles somewhat 

 rounded and with the anterior margin very reflexed and covered, like 

 the head, with moderately closely set round punctures ; prothorax a 

 little longer in proportion to the size than in the other South African 

 species, being in length half that of the elytra, faintly aciculate in the 

 centre and more distinctly on the sides ; elytra of the normal shape, 

 plainly regularly punctato-striate, with the punctures round and 

 somewhat deep, second interval numerously and irregularly punctured 

 from the base to four-fifths of the length in both sexes ; propygidium 

 and pygidium somewhat finely punctate ; pectus densely pubescent ; 

 anterior tibiae bi-dentate outwardly ; in the male the club of the 

 antennte is as long as all the other joints taken together, and the 

 inner claw of the anterior and intermediate tarsi is simple, and cleft 

 in the female.
