Oblong, subeylindrical, black, slightly glossy ; the head covered with small punctures, which are sometimes 
confluent; a slender transverse carina between the eyes; the antenne pitchy, the basal joint clothed sparmgly 
with grey set. The prothorax is nearly circular, convex, minutely and thickly punctured ; the lateral margins 
almost destitute of a thickened edge; a slender channel runs down the middle of the hind part, with two small 
transverse impressions near the posterior angles. The scutellum is thickly punctured at its base, its apex being 
obliquely striolated. The elytra are thickly punctured, the punctures small but very irregular in size; they 
are slightly sulcated longitudinally, and each has on its dise five duplicated strix, not extending either to the 
base or apex of the elytra, and not reaching to the shoulders; the outer strie being most indistinct and 
somewhat catenated. The pygidium is thickly punctured. The body beneath is marked with transverse 
punctures ; it is setose, the metasternum being more thickly clothed with sete. The pygidium of the male 
is convex, and preceded by a short segment slightly produced in the centre and setose along its posterior margin 
(fig. 10c, seen from behind; 10d, seen sideways); that of the female is more angulated when seen laterally 
(fig. 102), and has two raised tubercles on its dise, the short preceding joint being bisinuated (fig. 10a). The 
abdomen of the male has its extremity curved and deflexed, rather flattened, but not in the least channelled 
down the middle of the basal segments on the ventral surface.

The upper surface of this very distinct species is black and moderately glossy ; the head is of moderate 
size; the disc slightly convex, with a shallow impression on each side behind the base of the antenne; the 
fore margin is emarginate with the lateral angles rounded; it is rugose, being closely covered with minute 
punctures; the antenne are pitchy black, the basal joint marked with curved striole on the outside, setose at 
the tip and under side; the first joint of the clava is marked with an oval impression on the outside near the 
middle, filled with minute sete. The maxille (fig. 3) are armed with two strong triangular teeth on the 
apical lobe, the inner lobe is also bidentate; the mentum (fig. 34) is oblong, terminated in front by two rounded 
lobes, the junction forming an acute impression between them. The prothorax is nearly circular, being slightly 
widest behind the middle; the lateral margins are distinct, but very slightly elevated. The dise is convex, 
with a fine impressed longitudinal line down the middle of the posterior half of the pronotum, and opposite 
the humeral angles of each elytron is a rather deep marginal impression. The disc is closely covered with 
small distinct round punctures. The elytra are moderately convex on the disc, the suture itself, and two 
longitudinal strie on each elytron near the suture, being considerably impressed: there is also a rather deep 
impression within each humeral angle, behind which is also an abbreviated longitudinal but slight impression. 
The disc is moderately marked with minute longitudinal punctures, very shallow and incomplete behind, which 
become shorter and more confused toward the sides.
