c? . Dark brown, the elytra and antennae reddish brown ; sparsely 

 covered with yellowish tawny pubescence which is restricted 

 on the elytra to linear tracts lying along the channels between 

 the costal. Antennae a little longer than the body ; third joint 

 a little more than twice as long as the first, and about equal 

 in length to the fourth and fifth united. Prothorax with its 

 lateral edge distinct, extended into an angulate process at the 

 base and into a short blunt tooth (sometimes obsolete) at the 

 front angle; notum finely granulate. Elytra finely granulate; 

 each with two acute dorsal costs extending from the base, the 

 inner one for about two-thirds of its length, the outer one almost 

 to the apex ; a sharp lateral costa runs from a little behind the 

 shoulder to the apical margin and a very short fourth costa lies 

 midway between the outer dorsal and the lateral costa ; apex with 

 a sharp spine at the suture. Last ventral segment subtruncate 

 behind. Claw-joint of tarsi as long as the first two joints 

 united. 



$ . Antennae reach to about the posterior third of the elytra. 

 Last ventral segment subtruncate behind. Ovipositor short and 

 compressed. 



Length 15-25 ; breadth 4-7 mm.

Reddish brown ; rather densely clothed with a short tawny 

 pubescence, which covers the whole of the elytra with the excep- 

 tion of the costae ; the latter character especially serves to 

 distinguish the species from ^32. sidcipenne, White, with which it 

 agrees very closely in structure. 



Length 21-35 ; breadth 6-10 mm.
