A characteristic and easily identified species, especially remarkable 

 by long, slender strongly bristle-haired antennae, long elytra and much 

 narrower pronotum. 



Black, glistening, finely haired; forebody sometimes with feeble bronze 

 reflection; elytra yellowish-brown or cloudy brownish-yellow; pronotum 

 and abdominal tip often brovknish; antennae pitch-brown, their base and ths 

 legs reddish yellow. 



The head a little narrower than pronotum, finely and sparsely punc- 

 tated, with rather protruding eyes; antennae long, slender, with long brist- 

 les, their first joint somewhat thickened, the third longer than the second, 

 the fourth distinctly longer than broad and longer than the fiftij, the mid- 

 dle and next-last (e-lC) scarcely transverse and about of equal length, 

 distal joint hardly as long as the two next-last joints together. Prono- 

 tum is much narrower than elytra, anteriorly about li times as broad as 

 lonj, feebly narrowing posteriorly, its sides with several long, outstand- 

 ing bristles, dorsum slightly convex, rather finely and densely granulose- 

 punctated, the surface shagreened, with a more or less distinct trans- 

 verse fovea posteriorly before the scutellum. The elytra are peculiarly 

 long and broad in proportion to pronotum, 1^ times as long as this, with 

 dense and rather fine, granulose punctation; abdomen not strongly taper- 

 ing, its first three free dorsal joints with scattered and fine punctation, 

 the following almost smooth, the sides toward tip with long bristles. 

 Middle and hind tibiae each with two outstanding bristles, of which the 

 nethermost is longest. L. 3.5-4 ram.
