Habitat in Africa occidentali "tropicali. In Mus.

This prettily marked species lias the elytra curiously 

 longitudinally striated, the strife being arranged in pairs 

 on each side of the rows of fine punctures, and with the 

 exception of the sutural curving inwards and terminating 

 at about two-thirds of the length of the elytra, the apical 

 portion of which is slightly variolose. The scutellum is 

 rather long, narrow and obtuse at the tip ; the anterior 

 tibias are tridentate, the basal tooth nearly obsolete ; the 

 four posterior tibiae are angulated in the middle of the 

 outer edge rather than spined ; the sternal process is not 

 porrected, it is rather dilated in front and rounded. 



The abdominal segments in the unique specimen de- 

 scribed were convex.
