 canaliculate laterally, feebly rugose within the channel, disk 

 very ch'arly jiuncturel, punctures larger than those of the 

 head ; the scutrlhun very small, smooth, and semicircular 

 behind ; the elytra punctate-striate, punctures large and deep, 

 outer margin evenly dilated from the humeral angle to the 

 apex ; the antenna; and legs reddish brown. 



The deep lateral thoracic canaliculation distinguishes this

 resembles.
