 brownish; legs reddish-yellow, but the outer half of femora black; 

 tibiae and tarsi most often yellowish brown. 



Head as broad as elytra, with rather robust and very dense puncta- 



tion, between eyes broadly impressed and with a short, smoothed, feeble 



carina in middle-line; antennae not long; pronotum only half as broad 



as elytra, oblong, slightly impressed from each side posteriorly, so 



that two feeble bulges are formed on the dorsum, all over with extrem-

ely dense and rather coarse punctation; elytra a little longer than 



pronotum, impressed around the scutellum, extremely dense and rather
