transverse spot or band oi silvery-white pubescence on each side 

 at the base ; elytra with a spot of silvery-M'hite pubescence over 

 each shoulder, another at the outer apical angle, and a transverse, 

 sliirhtly raised, ivory band at the middle of each elytron, that 

 extends inwaixls from the lateral carina but does not reach to 

 the suture ; posterior half of the elytra sparsely furnished with 

 short, thick, whitish sette. Antennse reach to the middle of the 

 elytra ; not canaliculate above ; joints second to fifth slightly 

 nodose at the apex, seventh to eleventh and the apex of the sixth 

 dilated ; third to sixth subequal in length, seventh to eleventh 

 much shorter. Prothorax longer than broad, rounded at the sides, 

 deeply constricted at the base ; the surface dull, very closely 

 covered with shallow punctures, the interstices forming a fine 

 reticulation ; the base broadly but not deeply emai'ginate in the 

 middle, and expanded in a short broad lobe at each side. Elytra 

 slightly raised near the base, depressed and somewhat constricted 

 at the middle where the ivory band crosses ; the surface strongly 

 but someM'hat irregularly and not very closely punctured ; snb- 

 nitid posteriorly, duller near the base ; each narrowly truncate 

 and bispinose at the apex. Body beneath covered for the most 

 part with silvery-white pubescence. Femora gradually clavate, 

 closely punctured, sparsely pubescent at the sides, but with a
