Antennae are rather short, their next-last Joint feobly trun-

 almost rectangular posterior corners, convex, with particularly

 finely aciculated; elytra a little shorter than pronotum, together 

 with abdomen with very fine and dense punctation, sides and tip 

 of the latter with outstanding bristle-hair. L. Z-2,b mm.
