A long and slender but convex species, with coiTe- 
sponding long antennai and legs ; pitchy-black, with dark 
aeneous elytra. The antennai and palpi are dark tawny- 
red. The thorax differs in form from all the European 
sjiecies. It is considerably longer than broad and appears 
therefore very long and narrow ; the anterior angles dip 
doAvnwards and are inconspicuous, the sides are broadly 
ex])lanate and u]>turned and the hind angles are rounded 
at their apices ; the thorax is a little Avider at one-third its 
length, thence very gradually narrowing to the base ; the 
middle of the base is broadly emarginate and there are a 
few shalloAv punctures in the broad basal fovea?. The 
stria; of the elytra are very deep and punctulate. The 
soles of all the tarsi are more densely clothed with hairs in 
both sexes than in other species; the upjier side of the 
tarsi is quite glabrous and the sides grooved.
