The clypeus is convex, very slightly angulated, and elevated in the middle of the fore margin. The maxille 
(fig. 6a) have the galea very acute and curved, and the basal lobe is produced at its apex into an acute spine, 
with another nearly as large in the middle of the inner edge; the mentum (fig. 64) is oblong, rounded at the 
anterior angles, and but very slightly emarginate in front. The yellow colour of the clypeus extends in a 
triangle nearly to the back of the head, which is nearly smooth. The yellow margin of the prothorax is angu- 
lated near the hinder angles; the dise is sparingly impressed with very fine punctures, as are also the elytra, 
where they scarcely form longitudinal lines. The black lateral margin of the elytra extends from the shoulders 
to rather beyond the middle, where it suddenly terminates, the yellow then extending to the margin. The black 
apex of the elytra is separated from the yellow portion by a strong elevated arched ridge, beyond which the 
apex is closely covered with delicate transverse striole, with which also the tricarinated pygidium is also covered. 
The black suture of the elytra is but little depressed at the base, and is slightly raised at the extremity. With 
the exception of the exposed sides of the metasternum and posterior cox, the under side of the body is black. 
In the large size of the tooth in the middle of the inner margin of the basal portion of the maxillz (mando), 
this species is distinguished from the majority of the genus, but agrees with Faldermann’s I. mirabilis. The 
very slight emargination of the mentum is also a peculiar character. The fulvous colour of the dise of the 
elytra occasionally assumes a rich more chestnut tint.
