Near //. ruficeps, Burm., but differing considerably from 



that species in puncturation — the head much more strongly 



and sparsely punctulato (in ruficeps the punctures are fine 



and confluent), and the pronotum much more closely. The 



prothorax is gently sinuate at the sides behind the middle, 



which it is not in ruficeps.
