 Kraatz Ins. D. II, 141; Thorns. Skand. Col. II, 3C1; Muls. et Rey Bre'vip.

Our largest species; and in combination with this easily identified 

 by the very dense punctation and hair vestiture of the forebody, and by 

 the distinct gloss of abdomen. 



Elongated and rather evenly broad; black; antennal base, mouth-parts, 

 knees and tarsi reddish; forebody very densely and finely silver-grayish 

 haired, dull or dully glistening, abdomen less densely haired, distinctly 

 glistening. (Fig. 27). (Page 79) 



Forebody extremely finely and densely punctated; head not as broad as 

 pronotum; antennae long and rather robust, their third joint much shorter 

 than the second, the following (4-10) feebly transverse. Pronotum longer 

 than broad, much narrower than the elytra with anteriorly rounded, poste- 

 riorly almost straight sides, feebly convex with a flat transversal fovea 

 posteriorly before scutellum, and one as a rule distinct longitudinal groove 

 in the middle-line; the elytra somewhat longer than pronotum; abdomen of 

 rather equal breadth, the foremost dorsal joints with dense and very fine, 

 the hindmost more scattered punctation. L. 4.5 ram.
