"Very small, convex; sub-opaque on the upper side; pygidium 

 shiny ; black, with the elytra totally testaceous, or fuscous with the 

 apex and oftener the sides broadly testaceous ; pygidium sometimes 

 sub-virescent. Head closely granulate ; clypeus sinuate with the 

 frontal part arcuately carinate ; vertex with a short carina situated 

 in the middle of the eyes, angularly bent on each side and obliquely 

 in the sides of the frontal part, and produced thence between the 

 clypeus and the genae as far as the external margin. Prothorax 

 completely, very densely and confluently asperate punctate, sides 

 very slightly sinuate behind, base very slightly marginate. Elytra 

 moderately striate, intervals plane and with two series of granules. 

 Pygidium closely punctate. Length 2f mm. Easily recognised by 

 its small size, its convex shape, the colour, the arrangement of the 

 carinae of the head, and the confluent punctuation of the prothorax.'" 



Length 2-2^ mm. 



Originally described from the Congo and British and German
