Uniform dark brown, clothed with yellowish setge, interspersed 

 with a few longer erect ones, which also form tufts upon the very 

 prominent apical calli, before and behind which there are denuded 

 patches. 



It is very long, narrow and parallel-sided. The head is granu-

 parallel sides and a strongly reflexed margin, 

 which is gently notched in the middle and 

 rather prominent on each side of the notch. 

 The pronotum is rather uneven, strongly and 

 very closely punctured, with its sides nearly 

 straight and parallel in front, the front angles 

 acute and the hind angles rounded away. The 

 scutellum and elytra are strongly and closely 

 punctured, and the costse very indistinct ; the 

 T '^SKF f apical calli are transverse and very prominent. 

 ^ The front tibia is distinctlj^ serrated in its
