This species is narrow in shape, entirely of a red-chesnut colour, smooth, glossy, the elytra being widely 
impressed with moderate sized punctures. The head is rather large and subglobose, convex, unarmed on the 
disc, with two very slightly marked impressions between the eyes; the anterior margin is rounded. The 
antennz have the clava considerably larger than the head, extending to three-fourths of the length of the 
prothorax, elongate-ovate, slightly convex above, and with the middle of the disc beneath somewhat angulated 
(fig. 10a); the margins are rather sharp, without any indentation or impressions, the base alone being pro- 
duced at its upper or hinder angle into a curved hook. The prothorax is about equal in width to the head, 
glabrous and convex, the anterior portion with the lateral margins rounded, the disc entire, and separated from 
the narrowed posterior portion by a curved impression of moderate depth. The anterior angles of the posterior 
part are slightly prominent, and it is widest behind. The elytra are narrow, slightly setose at the sides and on 
the dise; they are twice the length of the head and thorax together. The legs are moderately long and simple, 
the femora thickened in the middle, and the tibie slender and compressed. The pygidium is very convex and 
punctured in the middle, and, glossy, with the hind margin elevated and acute. The body beneath is paler 
castaneous than above, glossy, and almost impunctate.
