 pubescence on the head, thorax, and abdomen, and on the clubs of 

 the femora ; on the elytra the pubescence is absent in two oblique irregii- 

 kir bands, one before the first, and one before the second third of their 

 length, and the pubescence is much thinner near the apices of the 

 elytra. Usually three transverse ridges on the pronotum the anterior 

 one not so near the margin as in fragilis: usually the pubescence is 

 absent on the prominences of the sides of the upper surface of the 

 pronotum forming an irregular longitudinal stripe there. 



The apices of the elytra are obliquely truncate within and less 

 rounded than in fragilis. Punctures of pronotum and elytra finer than 

 in fragilis. Club of femora as in fragilis. elytra not particularly elevat-
