Reddish brown to dark brown, densely covered with greyish- 

 tawny pubescence ; elytra marked with dark brown spots one 

 near the base ; two, placed obliquely near the middle, are united 

 at the suture, and with the corresponding spots of the other 

 elytron form a somewhat X~ s haped pattern ; a fourth spot, with 

 rounded front margin and oblique or sinuate hind margin, is 

 placed transversely at about one-fourth from the apex ; between 

 it and the apex there is a much smaller spot. Antenna nearly 

 one-third longer than the body in the $ . Prothorax with a 

 rather strong dorso-lateral tubercle on each side, strongly narrowed 

 at the base, very slightly so in front. Elytra transversely 

 truncate at the apex, the sutural angles acute, the outer angles 

 somewhat strongly spined.

 apex. Antenna reach to the apical fourth of the elytra in the 2 

 and are dark brown covered in part, especially at the base of each 

 joint, with grey pubescence. Prothorax rounded at the sides, the 

 disc with a postmedian cariniform tubercle. Elytra strongly spined 

 at the outer apical angles. Legs reddish brown, the clavate portion
