Length 12-13 mm.; width 7 mm. 
Female: Reddish-brown, shiny; frons and clypeus deeply pitted, 
the punctures almost foveate on the semicircular clypeus the margin 
of which is much raised and has an inner row of fairly long, upright, 
sub-fulvous hairs, the frontal keel is highly raised, the frontal 
part is more densely hairy, and although not carinate along the base 
there is a very faint elevation there; prothorax twice as broad as 
long, rounded and ampliated laterally in the middle, moderately 
convex, fringed on the sides with very long, fine hairs, very sparingly 
punctate even on the sides, where each puncture bears a long setose 
hair, and having a fringe of shorter ones in the median part of the 
base above the scutellum which is large, moderately acuminate at 
apex, and closely punctulate ; elytra gradually ampliated from near 
the humeral part to three-fourths of the length, and hardly narrowed 
thence to the posterior angle which is not broadly rounded, they are 
moderately convex, very little dehiscent behind, cover the greatest 
part of the propygidium, are shiny, irregularly sub-punctulate in the 
anterior part, coriaceous behind, have extremely faint traces of two 
dorsal striz, and are fringed laterally and behind with very long 
hairs, but are otherwise glabrous ; pygidium very broad at the base, 
triangular, vertical, deeply and closely punctate, each puncture being

elytra, but long and dense on the rest of the body; clypeus small, 
semicircular, bare, shining, roughly punctate, separated from the 
frontal part by a strongly elevated keel, this frontal part as well as 
the whole posterior part is clothed with long and dense sete ; 
antenne reddish-testaceous, the second, fourth, fifth, and sixth joints 
are nearly equal, the third a little longer, the club tri-jointed and 
longer than the pedicel ; prothorax short, with the sides regularly 
curved, strongly contracted in the anterior part, less so behind, hind 
margin lobate in the middle; elytra moderately broad, shining, very
