The well-marked lines on the elytra and sides of the 

 prothorax — the former (except the outer line) not extending 

 more than halfway towards the base — will at once differentiate 

 this apparently common species from its congeners.

 spersus ; rostro crasso, infra oculos longitudinaliter elevate, in
