Antenna} reddish-yellow, a little thickened towards the 

 extremity ; 2nd joint short, but nearly twice as long as the 

 small third joint, 4th joint small, about as long as broad; 

 from this to the 10th the joints are each of about similar 

 length, and each just a little broader than its predecessor, 

 so that 6 — 10 are transverse; 11th joint obtusely pointed, 

 about as long as the two preceding together. Head black, 

 with the mandibles and palpi reddish; it is narrow, elongate 

 and parallel, it is distinctly but not very coarsely, sparingly 

 punctured, the middle part impunctate. Thorax much 

 longer than broad, narrower than the elytra, distinctly nar- 

 rowed behind ; it has on each side the middle a series of 

 about 10 punctures, and outside these numerous other 

 pimctures ; it is of a pale, transparent, reddish-yellow colour. 

 Elytra about as long as the thorax, of a yellowish colour 

 but somewhat infuscate, finely, sparingly and indistinctly 

 punctured. Hind body yellowish, with the segments on 

 the upper side infuscate in the middle, the two terminal 

 ones pitchy black, its punctuation is very sparing and in-
