Tlie whole upper surface is fawn coloured with the middle of 

 the thorax of a somcwliat darker shade. The head is punctured 

 and furnished in the male with a long slightly recurved horn, 

 quadrangular at the base, and becoming rounded and almosfc 

 acute at the apex ; in the female this horn is wanting, but there 

 are two small approximating tubercles near the base of the head, 

 and in front a transverse ridge bifurcating towards the eyes. 

 The thorax has in both sexes a deep hole on its anterior margin 

 on each side behind the eyes, and a deep impression near each 

 lateral margin ; in the male there are two strong slightly recurved 

 horns in front, behind which there is a deep transverse line, from 

 which the thorax rises abruptly with a smooth face ; and there 

 is a patch of fine punctures near each side and along the margins. 

 In the female the thorax is retuse and smooth in front, punctured 

 in the middle from side to side and smooth towards the base ; the 

 basal margin is however narrowly and finely punctured. The 

 scutellum is smooth. The elytra are finely striated with a row 

 of fine punctures in each stria. The suture is black. The under 

 surface and legs are of the same colour as above, and are thickly 

 clothed with fulvous hair.

This insect is entirely of a fawn colour. The head is 

 punctured, and flatter in the male than in the female ; in both 

 sexes there is a small almost bifid tubercle near the back of the head, 

 and in front another tubercle at the intersection of two oblique 

 ridges. The thorax is almost free from punctures, a few distant 

 and very fine ones being scattered over it ; the medial line is 

 distinct, and there is a deep roundish impression near each lateral 

 margin. The male has the thorax slightly retuse in front. The 

 elytra are finely striated and punctured in the stria?, while the 

 suture is slightly black. The under surface and logs are tliiokly 

 clothed with yellow hair.
