Length from the frontmargin of the inter-antennary ridge 

 to the end of the elytra 43 mm. ; length of the elytra 32 

 mm.; breadth at the shoulders 12'/2 mm.; breadth across 

 the thorax from point to point of the lateral teeth 10 mm. 



Covered with minute erect stiflSsh hairs. The head , with 

 the seven basal joints of the antennae, the thorax, the 

 smaller basal half of the elytra , the anterior pair of legs , 

 the intermediate tibiae and tarsi as well as the base of 

 the femora , and the posterior tarsi luteous ; the four apical 

 joints of the antennae, the extreme anterior margin and 

 the constricted basal portion of the thorax ^) , the scutel- 

 lum , the intermediate femora (with the exception of the

 terior tibiae stained with luteous towards the end on the 

 outside) ; the greater apical half of the elytra dark metal-

 narrow and not deep , passing through a smooth space on 

 the face, the clypeus not sharply defined at the base,
