This species is very nearly related to Z. j7rt/e?i.s above 

 described but is rather smaller. The elytra are more 

 densely punctured, tlie sutural costge are distinctly 

 narrower and the rest of the elytra almost without relief. 

 The two species are also distinguishable by the pygidium 

 which, besides the sexual differences described, is more 

 shining iu the present insect.
