 (with the exception of broad lateral margins), a sutural stripe 

 common to both elytra (broad at the base and narrowing to the 

 extremity), and the tarsi, brown or red-brown. The darkly - 

 pigmented part of the pronotum is sometimes reduced to a patch 

 or spot on each side of the middle and is occasionally absent 

 altogether. The scutellum is always pale. 



The body is oval in shape, moderately convex and rather 

 shining, with a somewhat scanty clothing of minute setae above. 

 The head is not very large, but the clypeus is broadly semi- 

 circular, granulated and rather closely clothed with grey setae ; 

 the forehead is strongly punctured and rather closely setose. 

 The pronotum is coarsely and deeply, but scantily and irregularl)', 

 punctured, and correspondingly thinly clothed with fine setae ; 

 the sides are straight in front and rounded behind, with the front 

 angles acute and the hind angles rounded off. The scutellum is 

 rugosely punctured, and the elytra deeply, coarsely and rather 

 confluently, with somewhat indistinct costae. The pygidium is 

 closely clothed with very fine grey hair. The legs are rather 

 slender, the front tibia armed with three sharp equidistant teeth, 

 the longer front and middle claws minutely cleft, and the shorter 

 hind claw more than half the length of the longer.
