liquely striated; antenne ferruginous, first two joints of the 
scape a little longer than the others, all tipped with black ; pro- 
thorax rather coarsely punctate, a stripe of white more or less 
approximate scales on each side; elytra short, well rounded at 
the sides, seriate-punctate, the interstices with concolorous 
scales, the suture with four abbreviated stripes at the base and 
five at the apex, composed of white scales; legs testaceous, 
with scattered white scales, more dense on the upperside of 
the temora and on the tibia. 
In this well-marked species the scales on the interstices of 
the elytra are only visible under a strong lens.
