Male: Fuscous, with the under side antenne and legs piceous, or 
fuscous with the sides of the prothorax the elytra and abdomen 
testaceous-red ; head and clypeus covered with deep, almost con- 
tiguous punctures separated by sharp walls, and briefly pubescent, 
the punctures on the frontal part and on the vertex are almost 
scrobiculate, the latter is somewhat densely pubescent, the ledge on 
the vertex is plainer in some examples than in others, and there is 
also occasionally a faint longitudinal prominence in the centre of the 
frontal part; prothorax closely shagreened, densely hairy, the hairs 
flavous, rounded and ampliated laterally in the median part, sinuate 
in the posterior, and with the basal angles distinct, base moderately 
sinuate and having a dense fringe of short hairs; scutellum cordate, 
densely pubescent ; elytra parallel, slightly broader at the shoulders 
than at the base of the prothorax, depressed on the dorsal part, 
briefly ciliate along the outer margins, closely shagreened, clothed 
with a fine, very short appressed flavescent pubescence, plainly 
striate along the suture only, but having also some irregular, very

tarsal joint longer than the following, and much wider; penultimate 
abdominal segment very much wider than the one preceding.

particularly in the structure of the legs, the antennal club is rela- 
tively smaller and dark; it is more convex, the colour is not black, 
but light chestnut-brown, the punctures are weaker, the hairy cloth-
