The very glossy upper surface of this species, the deep sulci, or striz, of the elytra, of which the two outer 
are confluent posteriorly beyond the middle and the rounded concave apex of the mentum, distinguish it from its 
congeners. The clypeus is slightly dilated at the sides, and its fore margin is nearly straight, the upper surface 
of the head is thickly but finely punctured, and there is a transverse ridge between the eyes. The maxille 
are robust, the lower tooth of the mando rather smaller than the upper (fig. 9a). The mentum is oblong, 
narrowed at the base, and constricted rather before the middle, the lateral anterior angles are rounded off, and 
the fore margin emarginate. The mentum (fig. 94) is in this part thickened (fig. 9d), and truncated into 
a transversely oval concave apex (fig. 9c). The prothorax is wider than long, much rounded at the sides and 
convex, covered with minute round punctures, without any impressed central line. The posterior lateral angles 
are rounded off; the hind margin is nearly straight, with a slight transverse impression close to the bind 
margin on each side. The elytra are but slightly punctured; their surface is irregular, with rugosities about 
the middle of the suture, and deep sulciform striz, of which the two outer ones on the dise become confluent 
together behind the middle; outside of these strie is an oblong impression parallel with the outer margin. 
Their length is rather more than 14 times that of the width of the prothorax. The podex is convex below the 
middle; the basal portion marked with fine transverse strie close together; the lower part punctured and 
glossy. The body beneath is glossy, very finely punctured, with the punctures wide apart. The sides of the 
metasternum, and of the trochanters of the hind legs, are marked with fine oblique stria, and the abdomen is 
convex and not channelled in the females. The legs are strongly spined, and the tarsi are long and slender.
