  smooth 
  tubercles. 
  Elytra 
  straight 
  at 
  the 
  base, 
  with 
  a 
  sharp 
  

   carina 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  which 
  ceases 
  abruptly 
  at 
  a 
  short 
  distance 
  

   from 
  the 
  apex, 
  with 
  the 
  apices 
  broadly 
  and 
  obtusely 
  rounded, 
  

   with 
  a 
  large, 
  common, 
  discoidal, 
  testaceous 
  spot, 
  which 
  is 
  

   covered 
  with 
  a 
  close 
  greyish-white 
  pubescence, 
  and 
  with 
  a 
  

   similarly 
  coloured 
  spot 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  below 
  the 
  lateral 
  carina. 
  

   Legs 
  and 
  body 
  underneath 
  black, 
  the 
  latter 
  with 
  a 
  faint 
  

   greyish 
  pubescence, 
  the 
  apical 
  ventral 
  segment 
  with 
  a 
  rust- 
  

   brown 
  (apparently 
  faded) 
  pubescence. 
  Antennae 
  black, 
  

   scarcely 
  three 
  fourths 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  body, 
  with 
  the 
  joints 
  

   (the 
  scape 
  excepted) 
  rather 
  slender 
  and 
  sparsely 
  ciliate, 
  with 
  

   the 
  third 
  joint 
  much 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  fourth. 
  

  

  The 
  single 
  specimen, 
  probably 
  a 
  female, 
  I 
  refer 
  with 
  doubt 
  

   to 
  the 
  genus 
  Hilarolea.
