Black, with the elytra and the legs reddish brown, but the elytra 

 are occasionally testaceous at the base ; the head is similar to that of 

 the preceding species, but the outer angles are not quite so sharp ; 

 the pubescence on the prothorax is not so dense nor so villose, the 

 elytra are also less pubescent, but in the apical part there is a somewhat 

 distinct band of sub-squamose flavescent hairs, the propygidium has 

 a very broad band of bright yellow hairs and two large round patches 

 of browm tomentose scales, and the pygidium has also two similar 

 patches at the base ; the hind claws are double and both cleft ; the 

 hind legs are simple and the tibise are not conspicuously dilated ; 

 anterior tibiae bi-dentate, but distinctly angular above the basal
