Length 11-12 mm. 
Black pubescent ; males—prothorax and elytra shiny; 
females—prothorax shiny, elytra subopaque. Basal joints 
of antenne and palpi and the whole of the legs light red, 
the other joints of antennze and palpi a shade darker. 
Head smooth, aciculate, a little rugose frontally on either 
side. Antenne long, slender, filiform. 
Prothorax narrow, trapeziform, nearly as long as wide, 
emarginate and very declivous in front, the angles sharp 
and projecting, only a little less wide at apex than at base, 
sides very gently ampliated for about one-third their length, 
thence, except for slight sinuations of the reflexed margins, 
above hind angles, straight to base; base shallowly bi- 
sinuate, median groove deep and not reaching apex or base, 
lateral basal foveze elongate, deep, puncturation of disc fine 
and moderately dense, densest about base and margins. 
Elytra oblong-ovate, short, a little more ampliate in the 
females than in the males, wider than prothorax at base, 
shoulders very broadly rounded ; striz—males deep and 
intervals a little convex, females nearly plane, finely and 
densely shagreen-punctate. 
Underside smooth, very shiny, mesosternal parts with 
shallow punctures or pores, metepisterna rugosely punctu- 
late, ventral surface aciculate-punctate about centre and 
apex, more coarsely and rugosely punctate at sides.
