In form and color not unlike Sllusa rubjglnosa , tut smaller and in

 most often brownish-red; elytra chestnut colored; antennae brown, their 

 base, mouth-parts and legs brownish-red.

 and rather robust punctation, a little more densely and finely punctated 

 than elytra, the sides rounded and posterior margin inside the roundly ob- 

 tuse angular hind corners strongly incurved. Abdomen right to the tip with 

 very dense, rather fine and smooth punctation. L. 3-3.5 mm. 



In the O the fifth free dorsal Joint with a longitudinal carina at mid- 

 dle, the sixth with a finer carina and incurved at tip. (t. 3anglb. and Kraatz),
