L. 23 mill. 
Oblong-oval, black, shining; the head with a few large 
punctures mixed with small and fine ones of various sizes, 
ocular stria broad and rather deep, forehead lightly im- 
pressed; the thorax, lateral stria somewhat sinuous, fine in 
the middle, well-marked at the base and strong at the ante- 
rior angle, ceasing behind the eye ; there is a line of scattered 
punctures similar to those on the head on each side well away 
from the margin, the disk is sparsely pitted with an 
extremely fine punctuation, the edge of the base is punctured 
from the angle to a point opposite the fourth stria, scutellar 
spot scarcely visible; the elytra punctate-striate, strise 1-4 
complete, fitth apical, reaching just beyond the middle, sutural 
much shorter, neither reaching the middle nor the apex, 
apical margins a little punctured; the propygidium and 
pygidium punctured like the sides of the thorax; the pro- 
sternum with fine punctures like the thoracic disk and some 
large punctures on each side of the anterior lobe, bistriate, 
strie widening out from each other in front of the coxe; the 
mesosternum smooth, bisinuous anteriorly, but the sinuosities 
are extremely feeble, the stria is strong and complete, the 
suture well-marked ; the metasternum has scattered points, 
which become obsolete in the median area; the anterior tibix 
are 5-dentate. ~
