A short, rounded-cylindrical species with evenly convex upperside. The 

 derm glossy. The hairs of the pubescence soft, and more or less concentrated 

 in diffuse patches. Upperside of the proboscis feebly depressed. Whereas the 

 surface-structure of the pronotum is very conspicuous, the elytra are smooth 

 for the greater part, the rows of punctures present at the base gradually 

 disappearing about the middle, none of the rows reaching to the apex. Scu- 

 tellum small, white.
