Ann. and Magaz. Natur. Hist., ser. 7, vol. ix., 1902, p. 98. 
Dark chestnut-brown, with the legs and under side piceous; club: 
of antennee and palpi reddish-brown; covered with flavescent, 
elongated, contiguous scales, hiding completely the background, but. 
the pectus is clothed with a short, dense, appressed pubescence, and 
the scales on the abdomen are whiter than on the upper side; head 
and clypeus closely punctured, the punctures are rounded, but less 
deep in the basal part of the head; prothorax obliquely narrowed 
laterally from the median part to the apex, slightly ampliated at the 
centre, nearly straight thence to the basal angle which is as sharp 
as the anterior one, outer margin plainly serrate, base strongly 
sinuate, surface closely punctate; scutellum semicircular, punctate ; 
elytra somewhat depressed and covering the propygidium, deeply 
punctured, punctures separated from each other by a somewhat. 
coriaceous interval equal in width to their own diameter, and having 
on each side two very faint costules, visible only in rubbed speci- 
mens, the greatly developed posterior calluses are covered with 
whiter and more hair-like scales; and in none of the examples that 
I have seen have I been able to detect traces of a supra-marginal 
row of remote white scales. 
Length 25-29 mm.; width 12-15 mm.

Plate XLIII., fig. 30. 
Stett. Ent. Zeit., 1896, p. 185. 
Closely resembling the preceding species, the clothing of scales is 
similar, but the scales are finer, less lanuginose, and either pure 
white or flavescent, the antennal club is flavescent, the elytra are 
more convex in the posterior part, somewhat narrower, and they 
have on each side two somewhat ill-defined rows of white scales set 
far apart, and often entirely wanting in the female examples, the 
posterior half of the propygidium is not covered by the elytra, and 
the pygidium is very elongated in both sexes, but especially so in 
the male; the scales on the abdomen are very minute, and the three 
basal abdominal segments have in the centre a very distinct, isolated 
patch of still smaller and whiter scales, and the hairs on the pectus 
are not squamose or lanceolate. The shape of the genital armature
