The male has the pronotum less strongly punctured; the abdomen with a deep and rather broad impression on 
the under side; the stria of the elytra rather deeper than in the female; the fore tibie are obtusely bidentate, 
and the hind tibie have a brush of strong set on the posterior half of the inner edge.

This species is distinguished by its castaneous colour, and by the fore tibiz being very strong and armed 
with a tooth preceding a strong notch near the extremity. The head is rather wide, rounded at the sides and 
slightly emarginate in front; it has two round impressions between the front of the eyes, and a slender raised 
ridge between their hinder part. The prothorax is one-sixth wider than long, and the elytra are slightly more 
than twice the length of the prothorax, and are as long as one and two-fifths of the width of the shoulders of 
the elytra. The anterior lateral angles of the prothorax are acute, and the hind ones rounded off; there is a 
slight longitudinal suleus down the middle of the prothorax, with two slight impressions near the middle of 
the disc, and two transverse oval ones opposite the sides of the scutellum. The head and pronotum are covered 
with fine round punctures, and the elytra are finely cicatricose-punctured and but slightly costated. The 
body beneath is covered with fulvous hairs, short on the abdomen, but long and thick on the metasternum, 
and also on the under side of the femora. The abdomen in the only specimen I have seen (which, from its 
bidentate anterior tibia, I consider to be a female, notwithstanding the strong notched fore femora) is convex, 
and the podex is also convex.
