 the body in either sex, dark brown; joints paler at the base; 

 third joint rather strongly bent in the middle. Thorax sub- 

 cylindrical, widest in the middle, convex, transversely depressed 

 near the hind margin, very uneven above, and obtusely tuber- 

 culose on the sides ; dark brown, varied with rusty tawny. Ely- 

 tra with prominent conical shoulders, and gradually narrowed

 surface scarcely convex, simply punctured (except near the apex), 

 dark brown, minutely varied with rusty tawny, and having on 

 each side in the middle a large, oblique, greenish-ashy spot, 

 widest on the margin : this spot is bordered posteriorly by a 

 broadish, flexuous, blackish streak ; and close to the apex there 

 is a tawny spot, larger and clearer in colour than the other 

 tawny marks. Body beneath and legs clothed with olivaceous- 

 ashy tomentum.
