The sabapical flexuous whitish fascia on the elytra is very 

 readily abraded, and is perhaps never very distinct; the elytra 

 moreover have sometimes several other still more feeble fasciae. 

 But the peculiar clothing of the apical portion of the suture and 

 which is curved round at the apex is very distinct; even this, 

 however, is sometimes abraded. The two vittae on each side of the 

 prothorax are not always white. The size varies from 4 to 5 mill.

Black, antennoe red; legs and rostrum rather feebly diluted with 

 red. Under surface and legs with rather sparse whitish setse; denser 

 on each side of middle of metasternum than elsewhere. 



Head with comparatively small punctures. Separation of eyes 

 about half the width of rostrum. Rostrum scarcely longer than 

 prothorax, distinctly curved; behind antennae with a feeble median 

 carina, and with punctures in feeble rows; in front of antenna 

 with smaller but not sparser punctures. Antennae thin, inserted 

 one-third from apex of rostrum; two basal joints of funicle sube- 

 qual in length, third much shorter, seventh transverse. Prothorax 

 with small distant puiictures, becoming smaller but closer together 

 near apex; with a feeble impunctate median line. Elytra closely
