This handsome species is at once known by the large pearly spots on the elytra, of which the anterior is 
the largest; the posterior lateral ones are sometimes connected with the two at the extremity of the suture, 
and the pygidium is marked with two small similar spots. The maxille (fig. 5) have a strong slightly curved 
acutely tipped galea, and two teeth at the extremity of the mando; the mentum is oblong, very setose on its 
outer surface, and angulated between the base of the labial palpi (fig. 5 4, seen from beneath ; 5c, seen laterally). 
The anterior tibia are entire in the male, in which sex the base of the abdomen beneath has a strong impres- 
sion. The prosternum forms a strong deflexed spine ; the metasternum is broad and porrected between the 
middle legs, but not forming a porrected point with the mesosternum, being squared off when seen laterally. 
The middle and hind femora have a thick row of grey hairs on the under margin; the body beneath is glossy- 
black, with grey hairs scattered about, a large patch on each side of the metasternum, the exposed part of 
the epimera, as well as a small patch on each of the metasternal epimerw, formed of thick grey pile; the 
sides of the abdominal segments are marked with fine curved lines, forming semioval punctures chiefly arranged 
in double rows.
