All the specimens are rather small, and the two points of the last dorsal segment 

 of the male are missing, so that they approach the var. inermis Br., abundant in 

 India. In most instances the wings are very small, and scarcely protrude beyond the 

 elytra. The species is excessively variable and absolutely cosmopolitan.
