Long. 4 lin. c^" . 



Of cylindrical form, the head and thorax narrower than 

 the elytra. The head is opaque, yellowish ; the antennae, 

 a little longer than the body, are filiform, not at all ser- 

 rate, pubescent, grooved and carinate to the tenth 

 joint, the four basal joints chesnut-red, the rest testa- 

 ceous yellow, with the tips of the joints brown. The 

 thorax forms a somewhat regular oval, and is not much 

 constricted behind, with the groove not strictly marked ; 

 the surface is densely and confluently punctate, testaceous 

 yellow or tawny, with a broad vitta on each side of the 

 disc purplish-brown, not touching either front or hind 

 margin. The elytra are rounded, and much narrowed 

 close to the tips, the latter simply notched ; the surface 

 is covered with large deep circular punctures ; the longi- 

 tudinal elevated line of the disc becomes wavy near the 

 middle, and then disappears; the colour is testaceous, 

 with a large triangular humeral spot, and a spot occupy- 

 ing the whole apical half, violet-brown, this spot being 

 advanced and rounded on the suture. Beneath, entirely 

 testaceous-yellow, shining; the legs the same, with the 

 tips of the thighs and base of the tibiee brown.
