and lateral edges of the pronotum, the scutellum, and the 
basal edge and apical half of the elytra black, the latter 
with a very indistinct bronze hue; a black spot between 
the 4th and 5th striae, just behind the middle of the ful- 
vous basal half of the elytra, followed by a slightly convex 
yellowish spot of the same length but broader, lying between 
the 3rd and 6th striae, which touches the hind border of the 
black spot and the front border of the black apical half 
of the elytra; antennae black, with the exception of the 
4 or 5 basal joints which are reddish; legs pale fulvous, 
the trochanters, the apex of the femora, and the basal and 
apical third of the tibiae black, the tarsi pitchy brown. 
Head strongly produced in front of the eyes, slightly 
raised along the middle between the eyes, the raised portion 
with a few large ovate punctures; the punctuation on the 
narrowed front portion very fine, that between the raised 
middle portion and the eyes coarse. 
Prothorax slightly broader at the base than long, nar- 
rowing to the front ia nearly straight lines; the anterior 
angles rounded and slightly produced; the base broadly 
bisinuate, the median lobe rounded, the lateral angles 
acute. An irregular impunctate streak along the middle of 
the pronotum, occupying one 5th (or slightly more) of the 
breadth of the pronotum; outward from this impunctate 
streak the pronotum is irregularly covered with large punc- 
tures which are more or less arranged in groups; along the 
sides the punctures are close together. The scutellum is 
transverse, glossy and impunctate, 
Elytra parallel, each with ten regular rows of small 
punctures which become larger in the 5th and following 
rows; in the slightly convex yellowish spot between the 
3'd and Oth striae the punctures of the 4th and 5th striae 
are obliterated; the interstices are impunctate; the 1st (su- 
tural one), 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th interstices are raised (less 
distinctly in the © than in the Q) on the apical portion, 
the two latter from beyond the shoulder; the 3rd and 
9th interstices extend to the apical margin.
