 Black, with the legs yellow, the antennae and the parts of the 

 mouth red, and with a tinge of the same colour on the margin of 

 the thorax and elytra. Head smooth and lightly impressed on each 

 side in front of the eyes. Thorax rather broader than the length, 

 scarcely narrowed behind, slightly rounded before the middle, 

 truncate at the base, very broadly but not deeply impressed near 

 the posterior angles, and slightly canaliculate in the middle. 

 Elytra strongly striated, the interstices but slightly convex. The

 joint is very short and not apparently dilated at all, the second is 

 very much dilated, the third is shorter, but quite as much laterally 

 dilated as the second, while the fourth is as small as the first.
