A considerable, finely glistening species, especially distinguished 

 by robust antennae, of which the distal joint is peculiarly thick and 

 Ion?. 



Black, strongly glistening, finely haired; elytra clear reddish-brovn 

 or yellowish-brown, at base around scutellum often darker, sometimes en- 

 tirely pitch-brown; antennae brownish, their base, mouth-parts and legs 

 reddish-yellow. In light animals the abdominal tip is most often brownish. 



The head is considerably narrower than pronotum, roundly-oval, with 

 not protruding eyes, very finely and sparsely punctated; antennae long, 

 robust, distally peculiarly strongly, but gradually thickened, their third 

 joint a little longer than the second, the fourth most often a little long- 

 er than broad, the middle and next-last joints increasingly broader, so 

 that these become distinctly transverse; distal joint unusually large and 

 robust, longer than the two preceding joints together, tapering. Prono- 

 tum a little narrower than elytra, about /,^ broader than long, anteriorly 

 scarcely as broad as posteriorly, with feebly rounded side?, slightly con- 

 vex, very finely and not densely punctated and with a feeble transverse 

 impression posteriorly before the scutellum, and a more or less distinct 

 longitudinal groove at middle-line. The elytra a little longer than prono- 

 tum, finely and densely punctated, glistening, gray-helred. The first three 

 free dorsal joints of abdomen finely and not densely punctated, the two 

 following almost smooth, of same length. L. 4-4. fj mm. 



In the ^ the next-last ventrnl joint of abdomen somewhat longer and 

 more tapering than in the Q , rounded off at tip.
