Long. 3} lin. 
Hab. Amazons. 
Head very moderately produced between the eyes, vertex finely 
rugose, longitudinally grooved; antenne shorter than half the 
body, subincrassate, two basal joints nearly equal, the first 
thickened, third nearly as long as the two preceding united; 
fourth and fifth equal, each two-thirds the length of the third; 
sixth distinctly shorter than the fifth, transverse; seventh rather 
shorter than the third, slightly thickened, and, together with the 
four apical joints, forming an indistinct, slightly compressed 
club; seven lower joints nearly cylindrical, subnitidous, granulose. 
Thorax more than one-half broader than long, sides nearly 
straight behind, rounded and narrowed before their middle, 
sinuate immediately behind the anterior angle, the latter armed 
with an obtuse tooth; above subcylindrical, flattened and 
transversely impressed on the hinder disk, closely covered with 
large round punctures, rugose-punctate on the sides, a small 
longitudinal space in the middle of the disk, impressed in the 
centre with a short longitudinal groove, free from punctures ; 
basal lobe depressed, broadly truncate. Scutellum broadly tri- 
angular, rounded at the apex, basal surface oblique, apical hori- 
zontal, slightly concave. Hlytra broader than the thorax, sides 
subparallel in front, gradually but slightly dilated towards the 
hinder angles, the angles themselves scarcely produced, obtuse ; 
lateral and apical margins slightly dilated, the former minutely 
and remotely, the latter coarsely, serrate ; each elytron tricostate, 
the interspaces deeply bigemellate-punctate.

tatis, obscure rufo-violaceis, metallico-micantibus, utroque linea 
angusta suturali, margine laterali, postice abbreviata, fascia trans- 
versa subapicali maculisque tribus, harum prima basi, secunda vix 
ante medium, margini adfixa, tertiaque transversa, apice posita, 
fulvo-rufis.
