The clypeus reddish, truncate in front with the angles rounded, 

 the margin being reflexed ; the scales elongate and not very closely 

 packed. Eyes very prominent. Antennae reddish, the three terminal 

 joints pubescent, forming an elongate club equal in length to the seven 

 preceding joints taken together ((^). Labrum with the lesser lobe 

 not so evenly rounded as in the other species of the genus. Palpi 

 pitchy-red; the 1st and 3rd joints of the maxillary palpi elongate, about 

 equal in length to each other, the 2nd joint much less elongate ; the 

 apical joint of the labial palpi scarcely longer than the antepenultimate. 

 Thorax transverse, covered, except the anterior half of the lateral 

 margin, with large, nearly round, glossy-white scales, which, with those 

 on the elytra, in some lights reflect a faint rose-colour. Sides of the 

 thorax contracted anteriorly ; posterior margin much produced at the 

 scutellum. Elytra elongate, with the sides parallel, covered with scales 

 similar to those on the thorax, the scales being less dense just before 

 the deflexed margin. Suture of the elytra raised, except near the 

 scutellum ; each elytron with two distinct longitudinal costa?, and a 

 third which is almost obliterated. Sternum covered with long 

 pubescence, the spur of the mesosternum very short, acute. Abdomen 

 sparingly covered with very small scales ; pygidium broad, rounded at 

 the apex, scarcely arched, moderately covered with small scales.
