 resembles, it is recognized by very large, coarsely faceted eyes and by 

 the sex-characters of the CS ,

Black, glistening; elytra brownish-yellow or yellow with dark suture; 

 antennae brownish, their base, maxillary palpi and legs reddish yellow. 



The head in the _p is narrower than pronotum, triangular in form and 

 almost without temples, in the das broaa as pronotum, with well devel- 

 oped temples, forehead in both sexes flatly impressed, with elevated fore- 

 margin, very finely shagreened and with simple punctation, posteriorly 

 slightly convex, with rather fine and scattered punctation, most often 

 distinctly middle-jrooved, without side-grooves, but back of the vertex 

 deeply neck-formed constricted, the eyes coarsely faceted, in the Q so 

 large, that the.) almost fill the sides of the head entirely, in the Osome- 

 what smaller, but however nearly twice as long as the temples, antennae 

 longer and more slender than in the preceding species, their first joint 

 back of tip flatly constricted, the middle- and next-last (6-1C) joints 

 of equal breadth, not strongly transverse; form and sculpture of pronotum 

 and elytra principally same as in laqueatus , the latter however somewhat 

 more densely longitudinal-rugose punctated; abdomen finely shagreened and 

 with a row of very small, granule punctures alonj posterior margins of 

 the joints. L. 4-4,5 mm.
