The head is without punctation, and together with pronotum 

 smooth, the antennal middle-and next-last joints at least twice as 

 long as broad; pronotum shining smooth, with two impressed punc- 

 tures on the disc in front of middle, and several outstanding brist- 

 les on the sides. Scutellum is finely punctate, rather large; elytra 

 with dense scabrous punctation; abdomen very finely and densely punc- 

 tate, color changeable, on sides and at tip endowed with numerous, 

 outstanding bristles. L. 4 mm.

the eyes oblong and flat; the forehead near inner margin of the eye 



with a large and a smaller bristle-bearing puncture; antennae rather 



long and slender, only feebly thickened outwardly, after the very
