black, legs pale flavous, the tibiae and tarsi more or less pale piceous and the apex 

 of the hind femora dark. 



Type, Rio Madeira 1 probably cf length ik mm. 



Head with a few small punctures near the eye, vertex smooth polished, thorax 

 finely punctulate, sides broadly depressed, anterior angles very obsoletely notched, 

 elytra only slightly dilated at the middle, oblong, finely and thickly punctured, the 

 external edge of the piceous stripe is limited by the dilated margin, the internal edge 

 is ill-defined and especially on the ante apical dilation shades gradually into the 

 flavous ground color. The bicolored head with pale elytra and dark edge, and dark 

 apex of the hind femora are the distinguishing features. Seems to be allied to 

 tabida Jac. but is much smaller.
