It is in appearance much like Calodera protensa , from v.hich it how- 

 ever, next after the above mentioned generic characteristics, easily is 

 separated by more robust antennae and broader pronotum. 



Father slender, anteriorly slightly narrowing; black, all over extre- 

 mely densely and extremely finely punctated, also very densely and finely 

 gray-haired, due to this with dull gloss and with pronounced silky sheen; 

 antennae pitch-brown or brownish-red, their base, mouth-parts, and legs 

 reddish-yellov. ; in teneral animals pronotum and elytra also posterior mar- 

 gins of abdominal joints brownish. 



The head is considerably narrower than pronotum, posteriorly rounded 

 off, but not strongly constricted, porrect; antennae rather long and very 

 robust, their third Joint only half as long as the second, the fourth small 

 and short, the following (5-lC) of equal breadth, approximately twice as 

 broad as long, distal Joint long, oval. Pronotum is much narrower than el- 

 ytra, as long as broad, slightly narrowing posteriorly with anteriorly 

 rounded, posteriorly more straigth sides, and with obtuse hind corners, 

 slightly convex with a feeble impression posteriorly before the scutellum, 

 and sometimes a suggestion of a longitudinal groove in the middle-line; 

 The elytra are 4 longer than pronotum and somewhat more distinctly punc-
