Dark reddish-brown, in places almost black. Densely clothed in places with 
white scales, having golden or opalescent gleams. 
Head with dense partially concealed punctures, becoming coarse between eyes; 
crests wide, becoming eonjoined in front. Rostrum curved, sides with irregular punctures 
becoming eonfluent in places; grooved along middle, groove with a strong carina at 
its base and two feeble ones at its apex, and bounded by strong carinae. Prothorax 
about as long as wide, sides strongly rounded; granulate-punctate; with a feeble 
median line. Elytra much wider than prothorax, parallel-sided to beyond the 
middle; with rows of large but more or less concealed punetures; alternate interstices 
raised; with rather numerous granules. Length (exeluding rostrum) 11'/,—15 mm.

The scales densely and (except towards sides of metasternum) almost regularly 
clothe the under-surface; are dense about eyes, about junction of head and rostrum, 
on scutellum, form three lines on prothorax and are irregular on elytra. On the 
elytra they almost uniformly clothe the posterior declivity and sides, but elsewhere 
are in the form of spots varying in size, between the spots there are numerous 
nude spaces, caused by raised portions of the derm, and there appear to form two 
very irregular fasciae, one before and one across middle, but the fasciae are not 
clearly defined. The clothing is readily affected by immersion in fluids, and in any 
case becomes obscured with age, but on the under-surface, and especially on the 
abdomen, is most beautiful in fresh and perfect specimens. The first, second, fourth 
and sixth interstices have rather numerous granules; the third, fifth, seventh and 
ninth appear towards the base to be supplied with interrupted carinae, but beyond 
the middle the granules are much as on the others. 
Close to margaritaceus, but rather more robust, with elytral clothing not 
linear in arrangement; and always with several nude or seminude spots, forming a 
feeble faseia beyond the middle; and the sixth interstice not uniformly clothed 
throughout. The scape is also slightly thinner, and the alternate interstices are
