narrowed posteriorly than in front; lateral rims extremely 
fine ; surface very closely punctulate and pubescent, opake.

No difference is visible between Japanese and European 
specimens, except that they are a little longer, with faint 
traces of larger punctures on the thorax, and a coppery 
coloration of the third and fifth elytral interstices. As 
these differences are not constant, and are seen in some 
European specimens, the form cannot be maintained even 
as a local variety.
