 large subquadrate patch at base and another behind the middle, 

 rufo-testaceous. 



" Head rugosely punctured, inner and upper orbits of eyes 

 nigro-piceous. Thorax one -fourth as broad again as long, 

 sides straight and parallel from base to beyond the middle, 

 thence rounded and convergent towards the apex, anterior 

 angles submucronate, disc distinctly but not closely punctured. 

 Elytra subquadrate-ovate, rather strongly punctate-striate ; basal 

 rufo-testaceous patch extending from outer margin nearly to 

 suture, the other similarly coloured patch subovate, placed 

 between middle and apex.
