 internal edge, with a subtriangular, moderately dark brown spot 

 behind the disk of the corium and three or four small spots of the

 rigid hairs directed laterally aud fan-like. Pronotum scarcely

 depression which traverses the breadth of the pronotum, almost 

 forming a collar at the anterior area of the pronotum, glossy on the 

 edges, with the anterior angles nearly straight, slightly rounded
