Of the anterior and intermediate legs the coxae are 
transversely strigose, the femora obliquely so, the latter 
moreover provided with a few large punctures; of the 
posterior pair of legs the coxae are sparingly covered with 
shallow punctures and a few striae, the femora with 
oblique striae and a few punctures; the anterior tibiae 
have a few longitudinal striae and large punctures, their 
outer margin is armed with two distinct teeth before the 
apical one; the intermediate and posterior tibiae are like- 
wise strigose and punctate, provided with an obsolete 
narrow groove along the inside, and notched on the out- 
side about one-third from their apex (very indistinctly 
however on the intermediate pair); the apical margin of 
the posterior tibiae is tricuspidate on the outside, that of 
the intermediate ones bicuspidate:
