This is a very distinct species, resembling no form known 

 to me : it is characterized by the thick and elongate fourth and 

 fifth segments of the anteniise; by the very hairy body ; by 

 the granvilose elytra and wings ; by the humeral keel of the 

 elytra, almost obsolete, its position marked by a row of small 

 tubercles running the entire length of the elytra's edge; by 

 the rounded penultimate ventral segment, a little emarginate 

 posteriorly; by the form of the pygidium and the long and 

 slender, slightly curved, almost straight forceps ; especially 

 by the long and slender feet and the extremely lung and very 

 slender tarsi.
