greatest width before the middle , feebly edged at the base, 

 the angles but little produced, the surface deusely and 

 very finely punctured in a rasplike manner , clothed with 

 a greyish recumbent pubescence which is rather dense. 

 Scutellum square , pubescent. — Elytra truncated and much 

 broader than the prothorax at the base, with rather pro- 

 minent and rounded shoulders , three times as long as 

 broad , attenuated behind , the apices separately ronnded , 

 the suture sunken behind the scutellum , further on raised , 

 bordered by an impressed stria ; they are closely and finely 

 rugose , slightly grooved and clothed with a greyish recum- 

 bent pubescence which forms very delicate stripes. — Pygi- 

 dium dark red , projecting beyond the elytra. — Undersur- 

 face covered with a pubescence which is fine and white 

 on the flanks of the sternum. — Femora much swollen. 



This species may be distinguished by its small size, by 

 the colour of the foreside of the head and the legs , by the 

 prothorax which has its greatest width before the middle, 

 by the pubescence of the elytra which is arranged in stripes.
