Elongate, flavous ; anterior portion of head black ; thorax with a 

 transverse black band ; scutellum black ; elytra with a transverse 

 band before middle, surrounding the shoulders, another band 

 behind the middle and the apex bluish-black. 



Head impunctate ; the entire upper portion as far as the lower 

 portion of the eyes black, the rest flavous ; a shallow transverse 

 groove between the eyes, followed by two obsolete foveae ; antennae 

 wanting in the type and only specimen. Thorax two and a half 

 times broader than long, the sides rather rounded, a deep trans- 

 verse groove at each side near the base ; surface impunctate, 

 flavous with a broad transverse band at base; not quite extending 

 to the lateral margins and with an indentation in the middle of the 

 anterior border. Scutellum black. Elytra very closely and strongly 

 punctured with interstices finely rugose, not covering the pygi- 

 dium ; the first baud not extending quite to suture, deeply indented 

 above and reaching to the base at the sides, second band broad 

 and nearly regular, extending across the suture to either margin ; 

 apical spot subtriangular. Breast and pygidium black; legs slightly 

 stained with black. First joint of posterior tarsi much longer than 

 the second.
