pubescence forming two distinct transverse fasciae on the elytra; 
beneath piceous, with a slight aeneous reflection. 
Head moderately convex, deeply, longitudinally grooved from ver- 
tex to epistome; surface nearly smooth, shining, with a few obsolete 
punctures, and the occiput very sparsely clothed with rather long 
cinereous hairs. Pronotum moderately convex, three times as wide 
as long at middle, much narrower in front than behind, widest at 
base; sides strongly, obliquely arcuate from base to apical angles, 
which are rectangular; anterior margin broadly, arcuately emargi- 
nate; base transversely truncate to the elytral lobe, where it is feebly, 
arcuately emarginate, and with a more obsolete emargination in front 
of scutellum; hind angles acute, projecting shghtly beyond the humer- 
al angles of the elytra and fitting closely to them; surface rather 
densely punctate, and finely granulate at the sides, the punctures 
large and very shallow, becoming obsolete on the disk, sparsely clothed 
at sides with rather long, recumbent, cinereous hairs. Scutellum 
smooth and glabrous, with the anterior angles acute. Elytra as wide 
as pronotum at base; humeral angles obtusely rounded; sides paral- 
le! to near the middle, then abruptly, obliquely attenuate to the tips, 
which are conjointly rounded, the lateral margin feebly serrate, and, 
when viewed from the side, is nearly straight, except for a feeble 
sinuation for the posterior femora; each elytron with a very shal- 
low, round depression at the base, and a deeper one between the 
humerus and lateral margin, extending along margin from humeral 
angle to a very deep, broad depression behind the humerus; surface 
sparsely, rather finely punctate, and each elytron with two distinct 
transverse fasciae as follows: A rather wide undulating one at the 
middle, commencing at the margin just behind the depression where 
it is the widest, it curves upward to near the suture, and then turns 
obliquely downward to the suture, and a narrow straight one at the 
apical fourth, there are also a few dark, inconspicuous hairs on the 
basal half and between the fasciae, and a few short cinereous ones at 
the apex. Abdomen beneath moderately convex, sparsely punctate, 
the punctures very shallow and obsolete, and clothed with a few very 
short, recumbent, cinereous hairs; intervals finely and obsoletely 
reticulate; last segment acutely rounded at apex, the portion in front 
of marginal groove acutely rounded, with a short, sharp tooth at the 
apex. Elytral epipleura narrow. Metasternum more densely and 
coarsely punctured than abdomen, and nearly truncate in front. 
Prosternum rather broadly, arcuately emarginate in front; prosternal 
process nearly four times as wide as coxal cavities, sides nearly par- 
allel, the apex nearly truncate, with the angles feebly rounded; epi- 
sternum short, flat, and triangular. Prothoracic epipleura wide and 
nearly flat, with a deep, narrow groove behind the antennal groove; 
lateral margin nearly rectangular; antennal groove rather wide, fol-
