The female is densely covered with black scales, with a vitta 

 of white scales commencing about the middle of the suture of 

 the elytra, and extending along the suture to npar the terminal 

 tubercle of the row of tubercles nearest the suture, where it 

 divides and extends on each side to the summit of the tubercle. 



In both sexes there is a white ring round the thighs.

The male of this species is very like that of the last. The 

 crest on the rostrum is perhaps a little more acute, and there 

 are fewer cinereous and white scales, the narrow vittse on the 

 elytra being of a golden colour. The female, however, is very 

 different. The whole upper surface is thickly covered with 

 cinerous scales, which, on the elytra particularly, are interspersed 

 with spots and patches of white. This species also has a narrow 

 white ring near the apex of each thigh.
