Of entirely yellowish-white colour, the head impunctate, the 

 frontal elevations narrowly transverse, the clypeus depressed, 

 bounded at the sides by oblique ridges, penultimate joint of the 

 palpi thickened, antennse pale testaceous, extending beyond the 

 middle of the elytra, the second joint very small, the third, fourth 

 and fifth joints elongate, equal, the rest slightly shorter; thorax sub-

 base, the sides nearly straight, feebly rounded before the middle, 

 the disc impunctate, transversely sulcate at the middle, the sulcus 

 not extending to the sides, elytra slightly wider at the base than the 

 thorax, narrowly elongate, longitudinally depressed at the suture, 

 scarcely perceptibly punctured, the apex impunctate, their epi-

 rior legs as long as the following joints together, claws appendi- 

 culate, the anterior coxal cavities closed.
