 antennae of female scarcely longer than the body, and not fringed 

 with hairs beneath. Prothorax longer than broad in the male, 

 constricted near base and apex ; feebly convex above and crossed 

 by fine transverse ridges. Elytra long, feebly convex above, 

 gradually narrowed posteriorly, truncate or rounded at the apex. 

 Legs long ; femora compressed, the hind pair extend a little 

 past the apex of the elytra in the male and not quite to the apex 

 in the female ; first joint of the middle and hind tarsi as long at 

 least as the next two joints united. Prosterual process vertically

Varies from reddish brown to dark brown in the colour of the 

 derm ; rather densely covered with greyish-brown silky pubescence, 

 the pronotum, however, with a few longitudinal depressions 

 almost bare of pubescence ; the pubescence on the elytra some- 

 what denser and so disposed as to present short ill-defined 

 longitudinal bands or patches of lighter or darker shades according 

 to the incidence of the light; these in certain lights give silverv 

 reflexions ; two closely approximated bands placed a little behind the 

 middle of each elytron are darker in colour than the rest. Head 

 elongated posteriorly ; clypeo-frontal sutures distinct ; genae short ; 

 eyes completely divided, gula transversely ridged. Antennae one- 

 third or more longer than the body in the d 1 , about one-sixth 

 longer than the body in the $ ; second joint as broad as it is long ; 

 third nearly (sometimes quite) as long as the fourth and fifth 

 united ; fourth slightly shorter than the fifth ; fourth to eighth and 

 apex of third fringed beneath with hairs in the c? . Prothorax 

 somewhat narrowed before and behind, longer than its width 

 across the middle in the d 1 , shorter in the $ ; transversely but 

 irregularly wrinkled above and marked with some longitudinal or 

 oblique depressions. Elytra truncate at the apex, armed each 

 with a short spine at the suture and tooth at the outer angle. 

 Femora stout in the c? , widest between the middle and base, 

 gradually narrowed towards the apex, anterior two pairs rugulose 

 in d 1 , all finely punctulate ; hind tarsus narrow, the first joint 

 much longer than the next two united.
