sharply marked. Elytra suboblong, gradually narrowed 

 and depressed above before the middle, fully a third longer 

 than the thorax ; sutural strise deep, punctiform at the base, 

 but without distinct basal punctures alongside, dorsal strise 

 not prolonged beyond the middle. Hind body slightly 

 longer than the elytra, its first visible segment evidently 

 shorter than either of the following two, with minute brassy 

 scales at its base and numerous short setai behind, the 

 terminal two segments horizontal. 



Antennce slightly longer than the head and thorax, their 

 second joint suboviform, third small and globular, joints 4-S

 moderately transverse, slightly broader than the eighth, the 

 terminal one larger, conical. 



Underside chestnut-red, fulvescent behind. Head red, 

 with a pair of semicircular depressions between the eyes.
