margin of the prothorax hairy, the basal part and also the 
outer margins of the elytra are thickly and densely pubescent, 
and the pubescence fulvous ; pectus also very thickly pubescent; club 
of antennez chestnut-brown ; clypeus short, semicircular from side 
to side with the anterior margin moderately raised, separated from 
the frontal part by a very plain, transverse stria, frontal part simple, 
whole head with somewhat scattered, round punctures; prothorax 
somewhat convex in the posterior part, not attenuated laterally from 
the median part to the rather sharp outer angle, and covered with 
equi-distant, not closely set, round punctures; scutellum moderately 
sharply ogival ; elytra sub-parallel, sinuate laterally in the anterior 
part, covered with deep, round, equi-distant punctures separated 
by an interval broader than their diameter, the juxta-sutural stria 
is quite plain, and there is only a faint trace of a dorsal one; 
propygidium finely aciculate and very briefly pubescent; pygidium 
sparsely punctulate but smooth in the median part, not pubescent ; 
abdomen sparsely punctulate even on the sides; legs very slightly 
punctate, femora moderately pubescent; hind tarsi ciliate underneath.

Head and prothorax black, elytra and under side light chestnut, 
legs reddish-brown ; the head, except the clypeus, and the prothorax 
are clothed with a dense, long, appressed, fulvous pubescence, the 
elytra have a very closely-set but very short pubescence of the same 
colour altogether obscuring the background, the pygidial part and 
abdominal segments are clothed with greyish appressed hairs much 
less closely set than on the elytra, and the pectus is hidden by a 
fulvous very dense villosity ; clypeus concave, truncate in front and 
with the outer angles moderately rounded, impunctate, separated 
from the somewhat depressed frontal part by a very plain, trans- 
verse suture; frontal part very closely punctured ; club of antenn 
very strongly curved, and as long as the prothorax, the seventh 
joint is plainly lamellate and about one-eighth of the length of those 
forming the club, the sixth and also the fifth are somewhat aculeate, 
the three preceding are equal and sub-moniliform ; prothorax emar- 
ginate laterally, and sinuate from about the median part to the 
somewhat sharp basal angle, very finely and closely punctured ; 
scutellum finely punctured; elytra sub-cylindrical, very finely
