This is a typical Lamid structurally (having the vertical head, 
acutely pointed palpi, and obliquely furrowed front tibiz, 
characteristic of the sub-family), but it has much more resem- 
blance to the Cerambycides in facies ; indeed, on a casual glance 
it might almost be taken for a Pachydissus. I have omitted, in 
describing it, to characterise the vestiture of the antenne, as I 
suspect that it is much abraded in the type (which, however, is 
in good condition generally), the joints being fringed beneath 
with very distantly and irregularly placed fine hairs ; the basal 
four joints are nitid and glabrous, the rest very finely and closely 
pubescent. 
In the specimen I am describing the lateral tubercles of the 
prothorax and the shoulders of the elytra are slightly rufescent. 
There is an excessively fine greyish pubescence, which probably in 
a perfectly fresh example covers all or nearly all the surface (in 
the type it is wanting here and there, probably through slight 
abrasion), and also a “much more conspicuous, though still fine, 
rusty-brown pubescence is present forming spots and patches. 
The rusty-brown pubescence is condensed round the eyes, in 
small spots on the face, and on the sides of the prothorax ; on 
the elytra it forms a number of more or less connected blotches, 
the largest of which are a spot behind the shoulder and two spots 
near the apex of each elytron. As far as I can see, without 
injuring the specimen, the derm underlying these blotches is a 
little reddish in color.
