Oblong-ovate, impubescent, nigro-ferrugineous. Head short, trans- 

 verse, slightly and broadly produced in front; immediately above 

 the base of the antennae and between the eyes is an obliquely trans- 

 verse carination ; surface thickly punctate, black ; at the inner mar- 

 gin of the eyes (near the termination of the transverse carination) 

 are two suffused circular spots of rufous colour. Thorax elongate ; 

 the anterior angles depressed and very broadly truncate (the trun- 

 cation giving to the antemedial margination the appearance of a di- 

 stinct tooth-like projection) ; the sides subdepressed and marginate ; 

 at the base is a slight transverse depression, above which (near the 

 centre of the disc) are two distinct elevations ; the surface impunctate, 

 flavo-ferrugineous. Scutellum small, triangular, fuscous. Elytra 

 broad, subparallel, subdepressed, punctate-striate ; the surface is 

 somewhat raised near the scutellary angles; the colour is rufo- 

 ferrugineous, with the apex and the base broadly black. Antenna 

 robust, filiform, black, the basal joint being rufo-fuscous. Legs ru- 

 fous, the tibiae and tarsi being suirused with piceous.

 elongato, ad latera angulato, ad medium obsolete bituberculato, 

 testaceo, vitta longitudinali media, marginibusque fulvis ; elytris 

 parallelis, punctato-striatis, tenue pubescentibus, testaceis, vitta 

 longitudinali lata, etiamque sutura et marginibus fuscis ; an-
