The head, pronotum and elytra particularly finely shagreened in sur- 

 face and therefore with feeble or modulated shine. The head a little nar- 

 rower than pronotum, rather large with slightly protruding eyes, punc- 

 tation very fine and isolated, sometimes indistinct, in the o with a 

 broad, flatly grooved longitudinal impression at middle, in the ^ most 

 often with a short and feeble groove in middle-line between the eyes; 

 antennae rather long and robust, but only feebly thickened distally, fiae- 

 ly bristle-haired, their first Joint rather long, and especially in the 6 

 distinctly thickened, the third hardly as long as the second, the fourth 

 as long as broad, the following (5-10) feebly increasingly broadened dis- 

 tally, so that the next-last become about \\ times as broad as lonj; dis- 

 tal joint shorter than the two preceding Joints together. Pronotum l//j 

 times as broad as long, narrower than elytra, very feebly narrowing pos- 

 teriorly, with anteriorly slightly rounded, single bristle bearing sides, 

 with fine and rather isolated punctation, in the o slightly convex, with 

 a small and feeble transverse impression posteriorly before the scutellum, 

 in the ^ as a rule i.ith a flat longitudinal impression at middle. The el-

 strongly depressed as the three preceding Joints; the fifth free dorsal 

 Joint a little longer than the fourth. L. 3-3.5 mm. 



In the ^ the sixth free dorsal joint cf abdomen dorsally smooth and
